BUTTERFLIES / БАБОЧКИ
It is in this deeper view that many of the photographs of butterflies are presented here. Many photo-poetic works also attempt to reveal another states and dimensions of consciousness and being that may exist unnoticed near us and parallel with us — or in our own microcosm — or, perhaps, our macrocosm? — for in a deeper view they prove to be one, and this All-Oneness of Being is the main theme of my creativity. It is presented through the insights into some inner realities of the World-Being in the symbolic World of Butterflies. Please, read the poems below the photos.
Emerald swallowtail - Papilio palinurus
Papilio palinurus, the emerald swallowtail, emerald peacock or green-banded peacock, is a butterfly of the genus Papilio belonging to the Papilionidae family. It is native to Southeast Asia. The species name palinurus derives from Palinurus, the name of the pilot of Aeneas's boat in Virgil's Aeneid. Papilio palinurus lives in Asian primary forests. The flight of these butterflies is swift and quite fast.
The iridescent green sheen of the bands of this butterfly is not produced by pigments, but is structural coloration produced by the microstructure of the wing scales. They refract the light and give rise to blue and yellow visible reflections, producing the perception of green color when additively mixed.
