Spotted this butterfly while out walking round the edge of a lagoon today.
I originally named his 'Monarch' as I believed it to be a Monarch Butterfly but now think I was mistaken. Perhaps a NZ Red Admiral? Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks for any comments which are always welcome and apppreciated.

Don't know what it is, but it's not a Monarch. Still quite beautiful, though.

This is the kind of butterfly shot I would LOVE to get one day!
I have one of those Canon 60mm macro lenses and haven't really tried it out yet - I think you've just inspired me! Thank you so much for listing the details of your settings - that is really helpful to those of us trying to learn! Absolutely beautiful shot!

An excellent macro, LynEve! Beautifully sharp, with great depth of field. I love the colors and contrast between the butterfly and flower. Well done!
