tropical butterfly (close-ups)

[foxbat]

I shot these three in a butterfly house with the Sigma 105mm macro. I didn't get much photography time in there because the inside of the UV filter steamed up!

I think this is a "Tree Nymph", native to Thailand and the Philippines. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Comments are welcomed.

Excellent shots. Number 2 does it for me.

Thank you for the comments. I would have like to have been in there for longer but I was worried about the insides of my 300D steaming up!
