Ooh, this is very nice! In contrast to the piece I just commented on, this one is almost fully dark, where it not for the colored patterns. It's amazing how dark its body is, but also how big... Makes me feel like it's the male of the species or something.
Like the other piece, this could be cropped into a full square. I like the depth of field and focusing, though, and how close you've gone. I didn't think they were that interested in leaves, so maybe the butterfly was just resting a while.

Yes I would think the same! And you're right, it was quite large. Basically the size of my palm.
It was difficult getting close without it flying away. And I was also tempted to crop this one into a square as well but I also liked the setting.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Ooh, that is very big. 
Yes, these are flighty creatures, so that's understandable.
