Definitely worth a zoom. Beautiful light, colors, and dof. The back lighting of the wings is excellent. With his fuzzy body and lovely wings, he's not only beautiful, but really cute too. Superb shot! (Sorry about the 2 comments. Saw a spelling error that made the little guy's body hard to please. Not what I meant at all.)

Definitely rare, I haven't seen one like that before ... and what a brilliant colour and capture, I don't know how you do it ? do you use the stealth method ? mine always take off, going anywhere near them - maybe you are 'Jeff - the Butterfly-Whisperer' ! ;P BB
