Unexpected Visitor

Don't expect to find one of these in the middle of Winter. A comma butterfly (named after the white apostrophe).
All shots uncropped except #3, #1 & 4 are focus stacked from 3 pics.

Definitely not that lively- I did feed it some sugar water and left it in my porch (slightly warmer than outside)- just checked this morning- seems to have moved and is hibernating up near the ceiling

Beautiful work. I'm always impressed by people who can do such excellent macro work--these are top notch.

Hi Brian, these look great.
I love the detail in the wings, and with such close detail being able to see the fine hairs that cover the eye as per usual your work is stunning and Im so glad you love to share it ..... Skippy

Thanks for the comments all,
I'm just fascinated by the fine structure on butterflies and those eyes just look too weird.
