Poplar Admiral (Limenitis populi)

Habitat
Heath, Swamp forest
Location
Ukki, St Petersburg, Russia
Date taken
24th June 2016
Scientific name
Limenitis populi
Equipment used
Olympus 'Tough', macro function
I was on my knees with my pocket camera, less than a foot away. The biggest problem in this scenario, it trying to approach from an angle that doesn't cast a shadow.

If you look at the Scarce Fritillary shot, you can just see my shadow, not a problem you have with a long lens.
