Well worth the effort I'd say, plus it picked a beautiful backdrop to land on when you finally caught up. Nice~

Fantastic catch. They are so hard to get with good clarity because they are so uncooperative. Thanks for sharing the secret, wear 'em down. Beautiful!

Wonderful picture... It is a pretty close picture and the monarch is set in the middle perfectly, the only problem i found was the left wing is alittle blurred from the focus... But all together. Good Job

Oh all you images, I believe this is by far your best work. One of the best on the site I think. The clarity is awesome, and the colors are just gorgeous. Great composition, and one of the few images with insects that I would have as a wall paper! :)

Awesome work, and high marks!

Wow. you got a lot of reaction out of this one. This is one of the sharpest, clearest captures of a butterfly I have seen lately. I mean, it's a knockout. The detail on his wings especially the right one is awesome. Amazing capture. Great wrok.

This is a great capture! Well done!

Just an FYI - Stumanchu is correct when he says this is a Viceroy. He is also correct in that the way to tell is dark black line across the hindwings.
