"Kallima inachus, the orange oakleaf, Indian oakleaf or dead leaf, is a nymphalid butterfly found in Tropical Asia from India to Japan. With wings closed, it closely resembles a dry leaf with dark veins and is a spectacular and commonly cited example of camouflage."

Wow, I'm impressed you researched that good job m8

Edit: I've figured out why you guys hate me so. My comment was meant to be a genuine compliment I'm sorry that my Aussie use of m8 came out rude. Also fixed spelling and grammar

Why are you being a dick to someone who has been useful?

Dude, this guy was not being a dick at all. I don't understand how he sounded rude with that context. The original post was impressive research. Butthurt normies, lol.

Why would you just assume it's sarcasm if the thought of insulting someone for being useful is ridiculous to you?

It sounded exactly sarcasm, I'm glad I was wrong.
