Hope you don't mind me doing these archive shots- Some very kind person gave me a Pro flickr account so I can now lodge more pics there.

Whoa! #1 is a great shot. I had never even considered shooting a bf at that angle. Will have to give it a try.

They're all great, keep them coming.

Thanks Mecdave,
Suspect it came naturally with this butterfly- it's fairly dull around the wings, but has a wonderfull furry head.

Thanks Dancinec,
I'm still wondering how it uses that weapon to drill into leaves presumably- it must have to stand on tiptoe on it's hind legs :D

Thanks BE and Hidden forms for looking and commenting.
Think I actually like the last butterfly shot best out of these, but I suspect that's just because it's a bit different to my normal shots.
