Hi Roger,
Just wondering what kind of lens you use for these great photographs, and how close you can get to the butterflys to take them?
Obviously, a macro, but do you use a long zooming lens, so you can shoot from a distance, say a meter or so, or do you use something shorter, and get in close...if so, how do you manage not to scare the creature off?
Thanks for the great pics,
Ian

@ John Charles: Thanks!
@ Ian Yates: These shots were taken with the Zuiko 50-200mm zoom lens, which has a minimum focus distance of about 1.3 metres. I also use the Zuiko 50mm macro lens; the detail is better, but you have to get much closer to the subject.
