Default One very shy guy

I spent over 45 minutes this morning trying to catch this guy with his wings fully open. He was very camera shy.My neighbors probably thought I had lost it, outside climbing around in the hibiscus bush. Enjoy!

Nice sharp focus on these. I'm sure every one of us has made the neighbors wonder at one time or another.
