The plain tiger butterfly (Danaus chrysippus)

Good evening all friends #Amazing Nature.

I found this butterfly again, happened to be perched on a tree branch, seems lucky today, indeed this insect looks so relaxed, so I was a little free to take pictures.

I didn't waste this moment, I immediately prepared my cellphone camera to get some angles of the photo, and the results are pretty good because this only uses a smartphone camera with a standard resolution.

D. chrysippus is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan of about 7–8 cm (2.8–3.1 in). The body is black with many white spots. The wings are orange, the upperside brighter and richer than the underside. The apical half of the forewing is black with a white band. The hindwing has three black spots in the center. The wings are bordered in black and outlined with semicircular white spots.

This species exhibits slight sexual dimorphism, as the Male has large scent glands on his hindwings, which the female lacks. They appear as a large black spot with a white centre if viewed from the underside D. chrysippus is a polymorphic species, so the exact coloring and patterning vary within and between populations. It is similar in appearance to the Indian fritillary (Argynnis hyperbius), which may coexist with it.

After I finished taking some photos I just used natural mode editing, and I prefer coloring like that, well, here are the photos, enjoy.

Danaus chrysippus, also known as the plain tiger,[1][2] African queen,[2] or African monarch, is a medium-sized butterfly widespread in Asia, Australia and Africa.
