OK, not really Mothra but just a common Skipper. He was so friendly though. Let me stick the lens right in his face.

Even zooming in to about 3x he just sat still.

He turned a little and looked directly into the lens. It's almost like he knew he was posing and was working with me. Great little butterfly.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Skippers can be quite tolerant of approach, fine detail on the mug shot.

Thanx, little guy just stood there without a care in the world. Both flashes going off and nothing fazed him.

Gotta love a willing subject :) I had a bird that other day that was very similar. I thought I might get 1 or 2 shots, ended up with almost 50!

I think you bribed your model with some tasty treats in exchange for a photo shoot?

Thanx, but no bribes for this guy, though being from the Chicago area, I am not adverse to bribes. ;):)
