Butterflies : Inevitablely while one is out hunting for wildflowers one also finds their best friends the insects and particularly the butterflies. You truly can&#8217;t have one without the other. So here are some of my better shots. Most are taken with a zoom lens and an extension tube so that the butterfly will fill the frame. It is almost impossible to use a tripod under these circumstances and one must resort to higher shutter speeds. This combination also produces a very narrow depth of field and the accompanying difficulty of keeping the entire insect in focus. You can literally expend an entire afternoon chasing a single butterfly but the results can be very rewarding. Since I am a scientist I like identifying my subject both by common and scientific name. However, I am not an entomologist. If you should happen to notice that I have misnamed one of my subjects, please let know. TWH
