Info Purana tigrina is a species of cicada in the genus Purana found in Southeast Asia. This is a newly emerged female. After moulting, they will find a sutable place and hang vertically. Their wings need to be inflated with the fluid and their skin will be harden prior to make the maiden flight. They are very helpless in this time and extremely vulnerable to predation.

Support - Yes, Sir! This was on my short list and would have been nominated by me within a few weeks. Great picture and a great moment to capture! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:24, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support High EV and pretty. --cart-Talk 08:32, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice though some voters may find the 'diagonal stem in the background to be rather distracting'! Charles (talk) 09:17, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Charles; I was aware of it. It is a grass blade; the subject is very close to ground. The brwonish background is unfocused teak tree behind. I hope the rarity of the moment outweighs this shortcoming. J e e 15:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral per previous nom that Charles refers to, the grass blade does rather spoil it as an image. But considering the subject is unusual rather than just "another butterfly" I won't oppose. -- Colin (talk) 17:16, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
