I had never witnessed a butterfly separating it's wings like this. Maybe they do it often, and I'm just not very observant. Second shot is same butterfly with wings in normal position.

The larger butterflies will do this all the time when flying and feeding it's just not something you would see with your eyes and the camera stopped the action making it more apparent. Both images look good on exposure but they both look soft overall here most likely a result of to slow of a shutter speed.

Thanks for your comments all. Yeah, I agree Eric, they are a little soft. I'll have to bump up that shutter speed.
