Have been trying different things to improve the success ratio, most of the swallowtails are already getting pretty beat up looking. Here are a few of the better ones with a few Monarchs. Shot with Nikon 200mm and 300mm lenses f4 at 1/1600sec and ISO 320 to 500. Using a wireless remote and manual focus on D810 and D850 cameras.

The in-focus/out of focus areas of #3 give me terrific sense of depth, and keep my eyes moving and interested in everything in the frame. #4 is stunning for the clarity and super cool perspective & timing. You are such an inspiring talent, Glenn!

You have a wonderful formula Glenn! Butterfly in flight shots like these are rare.
