[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Second of my series of photo's from the Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo.

Whilst on holiday I visited two butterfly "zoo's", this one and another at Berkeley Castle.
The difference between the two visits couldn't be more stunning - I went to Wye Valley early in the morning, and as the glass house warmed up had a good couple of hours taking loads of shots of relatively sedate butterflys. At Berkeley I arrived in the mid afternoon, and the temperature was noticeably hotter. As a result none of the butterflys stayed still for very long and I have no decent photo's to show for my afternoon out :(
So the morale of this story is that if you want good pictures of butterflys you need to be out early!

PP work - crop, resize, USM (10%) and added the border.

Since posting this I've found out its a Lime Swallowtail, not the same one as in Butterfly 3 but a sibling or cousin.

Hi Macro,

Butterflies and dragonflies are very difficult subjects to capture! You managed to catch this butterfly very nicely. Lovely colors and DOF. TFS.

Superbe as-tu une lentille macro ? Joli et précis ces couleurs aucun bruit de photo.. Bravo.. Réal.

Hi Mark,
Great macro shot, good colours and sharpness, interesting note too, when I visited our local butterfly farm it was hot and they didn't stay still, likewise no pictures worth anything.
