More little butterflies

There was an abandoned lot where I was shooting bees and butterflies -but it was mowed 3 days ago and it now looks like the surface of the moon. So I'm reduced to shooting the few butterflies that come around my wife's flowers until I can find a new place to chase critters.

Poor light today -probably should have gone to manual mode and taken full control of the illumination...

20D + Canon 100mm macro. Minimal post processing and no cropping.
