I took this with a Nikon D90 and a Nikon 105 lens, didn't have the time to set up for macro, I was sitting down, and these guys are too flighty to stay still for long!

Hi fhayes :) You have done amazingly well to get this, never mind Macro! :) This is a beautiful butterfly, I would have to go to a specialist butterfly farm to get one of these and you have them flapping around you..how lucky is that! tfp.. :thumbup:

luck is planting butterfly and hummingbird friendly plants and walking around the yard chained to a camera!
