  • Question Is this also a flash shot? There are some strange striations in the wings (looks like scales are missing in places), is that flash reflection, or possibly damage to the specimen? --Janke | Talk 15:20, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    EXIF says flash was used. MER-C 18:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does, but I remember the sunny day and cannot imagine why I would have used flash! The shadow is sun, not flash as I didn't use off-camera flash then. If the on-cmaera fash had fired, there would be two shadows. Some scales are missing, you can see a number of scratch marks across the wings. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
