Amazing shot Tim. Never seen anything like it before!
Interesting how it doesn't bother to tuck it's legs up nicely for flight, just lets them hang wherever!
Was this at the spot we found below your place? I noticed the Scarce Swallowtailks glided a lot there and I did for half a minute think about trying to capture it. I was never crazy enough to actually have a go tho.

Wow, thank you all for the great comments.
I have been trying a shot like this for years and finally found the technique! They circle around overhead for hours a bit like buzzards, but it's just a matter of luck whether they come in close enough to get this close.
Most of my previous shots the butterfly was much further away in the scene.
Thanks Pete!
