I normally prefer my point and shoot for bugs since it delivers greater depth and I can physically get closer to subjects so there's less grass and what not in the way, but batteries were dieing. Turns out, kit lens is actually a surprisingly good lens.

The kit lens isn't too bad at all as your photo shows.

Thanks for pointing that out. I actually know very little about what I find around me, so wasn't really sure what it was. After a quick image search, I'm leaning toward it being a least skipper butterfly.
