Up until last year, I have maintained a butterfly garden to attract various butterflies for my meager photographic efforts. I grew nectar plants as well as host plants in about equal numbers. One of my favorites is the Cabbage White Butterfly...the name is earned because the caterpillars of this species are voracious feeders on the plants in the cabbage family. I even grew potted specimens of cabbage for them. I'd like to share a few of their pictures in case some others of you cheer for the underdogs.

Those are great shots. I have a huge butterfly garden just for this reason. Your DOF is spot on.

May I ask what kind of camera/lens you used to take these Cabbage White Butterflies and your close-up flower photos? I take close-up flower photos but most of them aren't as sharp as yours.
