Yesterday i visited my friends property, and they still have lots of butterflies of different types. Some of the flowers are still in great shape as well. The spots on each wing show me that this is a male.

I was using the 80-400mm on a breezy day, handheld.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

You did a great job with the "big" lens Tigz. I like how he fills the screen with his beauty.
Wonderful post.

He is one handsome fellow. I remember you telling me about the spots and how to tell the difference between a male and female butterfly.
