During voting: Thanks for some great comments and a great score! A couple questions have been asked so:

no, I did not spray the butterfly.

I have no idea why he landed with his back legs off of the leaf. He was very much alive when this photo was taken.

:-) I wondered the same thing. Maybe it's for stability and done intentionally by the butterfly?

Excellent macro! I'm guessing you are recieving some good votes/comments. I love the water drops; they are awesome. 9 -BB

PS. I wish I could see the butterflys whole wings but still a sweet shot.

This is an unusual photo. Normally butterflies are a dime a dozen, but this has the benefit of being unique. And it's well executed. Among best of show.
