I am seriously thinking of starting a petition to have butterflies genetically modified to be of a much, much larger size. I'm talking 10 foot wingspans here folks. Then maybe the little buggers wouldn't be so energetic and you wouldn't have to be an Olympic class sprinter to keep up with them to get a good photo. Sure we'd all be afraid to go outside for fear of being carried away, especially after slathering on the perfumes.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

This is a cabbage white, and they don't sit still hardly at all. You have a very nice, sharp capture of this busy, busy butterfly.

I was trying to shoot one of these cabbage whites today but the darn think would never light long enough for me to focus! Excellent capture of a very small, very active b'fly Wendell.

Did you know that if you put a little Karo Syrup on your nose the butterflies will come and land on it. Then you won't have to chase them...you just stick the camera in front of your face and pretend you are taking a selfie. Good job with the fantastic nature shot.

Wonderful shot with the butterfly off centered. Your idea reminds me what an entomologist said once about if spiders were the size of house cats, the humans would have been wiped out long ago.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967
