I try to prefocus on the flower, stopping down for max DOF and wait for the butterfly. Otherwise they become very timid when stalked. Below is an interesting butterfly .... the only one I've ever seen with transparent wings!

Elsapo: I know they say Jacko is the king of macro around these parts but the work you've done is simply amazing! Just had to say something after viewing some of your work. I've been thinking of getting a macro lens and now I really want one :-D
