I took a bunch of these and four were keepers, but I thought this was the best

Nice one Paul. It's not easy to get them in flight. At least not for me.

I don't try to follow the butterflies in flight, but I focus on one on a flower and switch to manual focus. Then I zoom out and wait for the butterfly to take off so I can fire a burst. The ISO is around 3200 so I can get f/11 and about 1/2000th. If the image is sharp it crops pretty well even if the ISO is high.

Fine shot, Paul. Sounds like a god plan for capturing them. The noise is pretty good for 3200.

The wind should be calm and you can often tell when they take off because the begin to flap their wings.
