This butterfly was in the top of a tree. Fortunately for me the tree was on the side of a hill so I could climb up the hill and shoot across the top of the tree. All that was left was a whole bunch of waiting until one of these butterflies chose to visit the tree i was watching. When we first approached the island I saw some of these butterflies zipping around and I thought they were hummingbirds until I got closer. They are bigger than monarch butterflies. This was shot with a 400 mm zoom lens on a Nikon D50 the shot was handheld.
