Southern Festoon Photography
The Southern Festoon is a striking, delicately patterned butterfly whose pale wings, marked with intricate black lines and rows of red and yellow spots, reward photographers willing to work close and slow with a macro lens. NaturesLens builds dedicated time into its butterfly holidays for approaching this species carefully, allowing guests to study wing posture and settle position before committing to a shot, so images capture the full detail of its delicate markings against natural foliage.
