I took my daughter to the Magic Wings butterfly observatory in Deerfield, MA this weekend. They have 4,000 butterflies of all kinds, and you can get very close to them if you are careful. I took all of these with a 1DMk2N and 100mm f/2.8 Macro. Most I used a 580EX flash as well. There are more images in these threads...

Thanks... it seems that Monarchs are always everyone's favorites.

Wow, I would love to visit this place. I think there is a Butterfly World in Florida, a bit nearer to home for me. Great job on these.

I love all butterflies. We go every year to PAcific Grove CA.(not to far from home)Where the Monarchs come in the thousands. It is really cool to see them just stacked and cover entire trees. I hope to get some pics next spring.;)
