K-3 + 100 macro WR + 1.4x rear converter. I really enjoy using this combination. Thanks for peeking.

My favorite field guide for identifying butterflies is Butterflies through Binoculars: The East, by Jeffrey Glassberg.

And here are a two local butterflies and a moth.

The first is a red admiral, for which we've had a fair number this spring (K20D with the DA 55-300mm).

The second is a hummingbird moth (with translucent wings), a fair-size moth that acts like a hummingbird (fast wingbeat, hover stationary, and sipping nectar) and taken with the *1st D with the A* 200mm macro lens)

The third photo is a tiny butterfly, a gray hairstreak (about the size of a US nickle). I didn't know about the orange "eyes" until I looked at the photo, also taken with the *1st D and the 200mm macro.
I haven't seen many of the species yet.

Black Jezebels, Delias negrina, undertaking a code transfer. Taken with K1000 and standard 50mm lens in 1996 - not sure which lens variant. Scan from a negative. Original is oof too .

If you are referring to the previous post from smf, I don't think you are correct. smf posted a Spicebush Swallowtail ( male ). You've got a Black Swallowtail ( female ), and the second shot is one of the Tiger Swallowtails. The black bands along the body are a little wide for the Eastern Tiger, but if you were in the mountains, it could be an Appalachian Tiger. Knowing the exact location and date is often important for IDing butterflies. I don't know the exact distribution of the Tiger swallowtail species down in that area, and there's always the chance of hybrids making exact identification tricky.

Learn something new everyday. Thanks for the education. The second shot was taken in the mountains of Tennessee.
