Not sure the variety, but this small butterfly stood still just long enough for me to get this shot.

Stunning detail!
That's what I was going to say, but then I see that everybody else has already said it.
So I'll just say it anyway.
That Irix glass really does a good job on these very close macros, it appears.

Great shot, Todd. It is a skipper but not sure which one. Skippers have the clubbed ends to the antennae. Most seem to skip along in flight which gives them the name.

Thanks Angky! I think I am starting to get the Irix figured out.

Thank you for the comment and the information! I have photographed a few of them, but for some reason have been too lazy to look them up.

Too good indeed. Didn’t know you had Iris 150mm lens. It’s not mentioned in your profile.
