Brimstone on Hyacinth

I was about to go out for a pub lunch when I walked by this, slightly tattered, individual resting (not feeding) on a flower. Its position was such that the lens, the main flash, on a L-bracket, and the fill flash (in my lens-supporting hand) were all blocked or snagged by stiff plant stems if I tried for the ideal plane of focus. So this was from a slightly high position.
EM-1, Kiron 105mm (f8?), twin flash, hand-held.

Thanks, Brian.
Brimstones rarely keep still for long. The low air temperature, as opposed to the radiant warmth from the sun, may have slowed him down.
Orange tips were mating a few feet away on the following day.
