I'm tempted to take a tub of strong glue with me next time I try to photograph butterflies. Spread it on a leaf !!.....that'll stop the little tykes flapping off every time I got less than a foot away
only kidding.....but I had a hard time getting even this shot, and really didn't want to use flash.
I was using my 50mm macro lens, so I had to approach them too closely, so I wish I'd bought a 90mm macro instead.

Most delicate and delightful. Excellent dof and it's amazing how this butterfly has wings that seem transparent. Do you know anything about this little blighter?
