I have had the worst luck trying to shoot butterflies! It seems the evil critters have a thing against my camera. If I am not carrying it, they flutter all around my head. If I do have it with me, they won't let me get within 15 feet! So, I got a butterfly bush. Take that!
The white ones and yellow ones and black ones still stay away so far, but this little orange guy, who I believe is an "aphrodite fritillary" butterfly, was most accommodating.
I used a YN560 flash and diffuser for this shot. Thanks for looking and I hope you like this!
