[[File:Doleschallia bisaltide bisaltide (Autumn Leaf) - male, January 2013, Singapore.jpg|thumb|right|250px|'''Original''' – The Autumn Leaf resembles a dead leaf, enabling it to blend into its environment if it is resting among dead leaves or plants.]]
;Reason:Parallel, good exposure, composition, and very detailed, can even see the wing scales.

:*The place where I shot it has a considerable amount of butterflies, too bad they are gonna clear/have cleared that place to build new runways for CA.

:*And I'm surprised that you labelled the butterfly as "''beautiful''".

* '''Support''' I've never understood the "blend into the environment" thing.

:*Don't worry, Autumn Leaves are ''very'' skittish and have a very large circle of fear. I was only lucky with this guy because he was cooperative enough to sit and smile for the camera. It's very rare for this species of butterfly to cooperate. {{=P}} <big>[[User talk:Arctic Kangaroo|'''✉→''']]</big>[[User:Arctic Kangaroo|<span style="color:blue;font-family:Segoe UI">'''Arctic'''</span> <span style="color:brown;font-family:Segoe UI">'''Kangaroo'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Arctic Kangaroo|←✎]] 14:37, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

* '''Comment:''' The image may be temporarily unavailable later, as I have nominated it for deletion on Commons as I want to localise it.

**You can always upload a local copy at Wikipedia and mark it with {{tl|Keep local}}. There's really no reason to delete the Commons file, which would rather be a shame imo. [[User:De728631|De728631]] ([[User talk:De728631|talk]]) 13:56, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
::*Sorry, I'm maintaining my stand here as '''the creator of the work'''.

:::*Please see also my response at [[:commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Doleschallia bisaltide bisaltide (Autumn Leaf) - male, January 2013, Singapore.jpg]]. And I fear deletion over there won't be as quick as you desire. Speedy deletion by request of the uploader is limited to a period of seven days after the initial upload, so now this will to undergo a full deletion discussion at Commons.

::::*Responded. The protest '''will''' continue. Commons is so messy and disorganized, I've heard.
