About A painted lady (Vanessa cardui) soaking up the heat of the early morning sun. Since it was a fairly cool morning I could get quite close before it flew off. This species is perhaps one of the most widespread of all butterflies and can be found on all continents except Australasia and South America.

Great detail and colors Joggie !! This insect seems to have it's own color scheme. I like the profile shot.

Sally Morgan   {K:9219} 6/16/2005
I thought from the thumbnail and title that you'd put writing down the wing! I guess I have an overactive imagination.
Another really super macro.


Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 6/16/2005
Hi Sally - thanks for commenting. The letters on the wing actually reads "Halleluyah!". Take care.
Joggie


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/16/2005
I never realized how 'hairy' they are!
This is a FANTASTIC photograph, Joggie!
LOVE all the detail, it's cropped perfectly in my opinion.

The background color is perfect, really sets him off!

Very good job,
Lori ;)

Sorry, I wonder that did you use a Close-Up filter for this shot? Thanks a lot...


Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 7/1/2005
Hi Caglar, sorry I forgot to give detail. I used a +1 Close-up lense on the 105 micro Nikkor. Regards.

Joggie van Staden   {K:41275} 7/9/2005
Thanks Lori - If you look closely, you will see that even the eyes are covered with tightly packed bristle hair - not sure how the see through it - maybe its something like fibre optics - will have to concur with an entemologist. Take care and thanks for your interest in my work.
Joggie


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 7/9/2005
Thanks Joggie for telling me about the eyes, I had not noticed that so I had to come have another look! Amazing, had to make this a fav.

Have a GR8 Sunday!
Lori :)
