I never tire of capturing butterflies with my camera. I believe this is the Old World Swallowtail – Papilio machaon.

   This is stunning!
   The detail and the lighting is perfect.

   But why do you hide the date and time of the post?

   @Marius: Thanks! Macro photography is very rewarding when I get shots I’m pleased with.

   When I designed how I wanted this blog I felt that date and time of the post was irrelevant of the post. The image matters, not when the post was published. I could include info on when the image was taken, but not sure what value that adds either.

   Great one – butterflies are our favorite object for macro (well – together with spiders that is….) this is a nice one – in its natural environment and with great sharpness and colors.

     Thanks a lot, F&S. I have many pictures of butterflies (and flowers), but i try to publish other pictures as well. With the project X/52 (one picture every week) I will publish more images than earlier, and hopefully also keep a good rate of images not part of the project as well.
