Description
These particular swallowtail butterfly never stop fluttering their wings. While they are gathering nectar they continually bat their wings much like a hummingbird does but not as fast and they move all over the place making photographing them a real challenge. This was taken with a 200mm lens on a Canon 5D Mark II.

Thank you Larry. Not as sharp as I would like it but shooting a moving target while Im also moving gets tricky. Luck is a key element in nature photography

Thank you Gary. It is amazing when you think about it isn't it. One day God just was sitting around and said "hmmmm I think I will make butterflies in all kinds of colors"
