Thanks for looking and commenting Stan and Skippy

Stan- uncropped but they are focus stacked. Taken using a canon MPE-65 2:1 to 3:1 magnification

When I think of butterflies, beautiful images of their colorful wings come to mind, but their portraits are too alien for me.

Thanks for looking and commenting everybody - much appreciated

Phil- yes these butterflies have quite long hairs over their eyes - many bugs which go near pollen seem to have hairy eyes.
