I also managed to practice with some butterfly shots during my vacation in Sweden. It's quite difficult to shoot butterflies at least the day during the hottest hours. When sun begin to go down and at evening it seems butterflies activity slow down consistently allowing you to get lot near (I have max 55mm lens) and make some fast adjustments and shoot before they fly away.
This should be of the Lycaenidae family right?

SIGN THE PETITION, Save the MONARCH
This from the Good People at SierraRise:
Monarch butterflies are so beautiful and fragile -- and right now they're dying at the hands of an unsurprising villain: Monsanto.
Monsanto makes big profits off convincing farmers to douse their fields with a pesticide called Roundup. Then they make even more cash when the farmers have to buy GMO seeds resistant to Roundup's poison -- seeds only Monsanto makes.
But as Roundup booms, it's wiping out plants like milkweed, the only food monarch butterfly larvae can eat. Milkweed is now gone from at least 100 million acres of crops. And monarch butterfly populations are crashing. [2]
Scientists know this is no coincidence, but Monsanto will never raise a finger to protect monarch butterflies. The only way to save monarch butterflies is to get the government to step in -- and step in quickly, before it's too late.
Don't let Monsanto wipe out monarch butterflies. 60,000 letters from SierraRise supporters like you will make a difference -- send yours today and urge the Obama administration to stop approving these pesticides!
Monarch butterflies are beloved by many. If you live in certain parts of the United States, you may have seen the gorgeous display of their 2,500 mile migrations from Canada or the States, all the way south to Mexico. It's truly unforgettable.
But unless we step in, monarch butterfly migrations will just be a distant memory -- another natural wonder that Monsanto will crush in their pursuit of bigger and bigger profits.
If we speak out together, we'll be too big and too outspoken for our leaders to ignore. Otherwise, the prospects for monarch butterflies look dim -- this year's monarch migration was at a record low. It's the third straight year of steep declines. [3]
Scientists are sounding the alarm, but their words won't be enough against Monsanto's deep pockets. To save the monarch butterflies, we must speak out, and we have to do it now. Will you raise your voice for them, Thomas?
Send your letter to the Obama administration today. 60,000 strong. Let's save the monarch butterfly.
In it together,
Nathan Empsall
