Description
I said the other day that the Swallowtail I posted reminded me of a stealth bomber.this is why from this view and is the same butty.the yellow, maybe a Sulfur breed is the first time I ever got a decent capture of one.they are one of the most unpredictable butterflies around.hardly ever staying more than 5 seconds and very crazy flight pattern
thanks so much for viewing and any comments

Great double shot. Cool angle, realy a form of the stealth and I like a way it stretches a cross a frame. The yellow is cute and looks like a tiny b'fly.

I wonder if a butterfly's brain moves around in their heads, so when they fly, they think they are flying straight ? Another couple of fine nature macro's Richard ! ~Cheers~ :o)

See what you mean about a stealth bomber, excellent capture, butterfly's are something I haven't had much success at capturing, don't stay still for long Stuart

So where's the pins? Sorry! hehe About the only time I have ever had such a good look at a butterfly still was in a museum where they had been collected and mounted. This is much better as no butterflies were injured (we hope) in the filming.
