Fantastic shot - I love the clarity and detail!

I envy your patience eaglem, great shot.

I have just spent about 30 minutes in my parents garden trying to capture the Autumn colours, i saw one butterfly, by the time i reset my exposure and started to focus, it flew away :(

Do you wait at certain spots and wait for your victims, or do you stalk them?

It is a nice shot, they are strange little characters close up though ... :)

Thanks for the comments people. :) I stalk them to answer your question. :)
