So I recently posted a thread called gossamer wings where I posted some picutres of butterflies. I had several comments that said, "keep 'em coming" and so forth. Everybody is so polite here, so I'm hoping ya'll really meant it and weren't just being kind, 'cause here's some more I took in my Lantana patch in the front yard.

I caught a couple with their tongue in succulent nectar!

And a hummingbird moth coming in for a landing!

Those hummingbird moths just freak me out....... So I wonder did a moth and a hummingbird really??? You know???? LOL
I love all the yellow in these pics. So vivid and summery.
Job well Done!

Great shots! Number three is my favorite, I love the dof you chose, it really pulls the butterfly away from the background.

Lovely colorful images Mike. Top notch quality. Love the bokeh you've got going there.
