Very nice! Butterflies are a bit of a pain since they never sit still for any longer period of time, very nicely done.

I have only one shot of a butterfly, taken with a Panasonic FZ5 (ISO 80, 1/320 f/4, -1/3, 12x zoom). Not the best one, but good practise.

I got one to sit still for me...unfortunately, it was not as colorful a buttefly as the ones that have been posted so far.

I did a little research and discovered this is known as an Eyed Brown, in case anyone's interested.
