Not a great capture, but it was fun to try. This one was in the center of a public butterfly garden, with no path or empty space that would allow me to approach it. It was way too far away for a macro lens. So, I quickly stuck my entire set of kenko tubes on my 70-200, racked it out, focused all the way in, and leaned forward as far as I could without falling into the flowers. (I didn't have a stick or a monopod.) This was the closest to a keeper of the bunch.

50D, 1/100, f/13, ISO 200, natural light, single shot.

:-) Nice job! Did you have to crop this shot much?

Thanks. No, not much--maybe 20% in each direction.
