Don't expect to find one of these in the middle of Winter. A comma butterfly (named after the white apostrophe).
All shots uncropped except #3, #1 & 4 are focus stacked from 3 pics.

Definitely not that lively- I did feed it some sugar water and left it in my porch (slightly warmer than outside)- just checked this morning- seems to have moved and is hibernating up near the ceiling :)

Beautiful work. I'm always impressed by people who can do such excellent macro work--these are top notch.

Thanks for the comments all,
I'm just fascinated by the fine structure on butterflies and those eyes just look too weird.
