If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

I don't know about the eastern variety, but ours in the west are so large they sometimes briefly look like birds flying, from a distance, of course. Years ago our oldest had to collect all kinds of North Dakota bugs for a high school science class, and since I often found myself traveling hundreds of miles around the state, on trips for a single or group of photos, sometimes accompanied by my wife, I would catch odd and common bugs, any that I thought he might not have (or ones he lost when the cat ate half his collection). I taught my wife how to calmly pretend to be a bush in order to catch butterflies, and she caught one of these by the wings and suddenly another one landed on her thumb. She slipped both into the baggie and our son had one to trade with a classmate. Nice focus and angle on this one, Ted. I can easily make out the minute pixel-like squares of colors in the wings.
