Egads, what a collection! A few I recognize but most are one's I couldn't come close to identifying. The 10th is my fave but 13 is so cool with "both sides now" showing.
It's hard to believe it's fall here in the northeast with the August like weather we're experiencing...most be even warmer a little further south.
Eric
Thanx Eric. One of the reasons I waited until this time of year is because I knew it would be cooler - not... I am both happy and unhappy with 13. I like seeing both sides, but it's very hard to shoot one of these with the wings open as they normally close them as soon as they land, so I don't have a "normal" shot of the beautiful blue wings.

Ron,
These are really amazing... I really like the opening shot, as the crop and pattern of the butterfly could not be more perfect. You must be a very patient person. I have seen many of the heliconia species you've shot in the wild and they are not photographer friendly. Set the tripod, focus the camera, check exposure, and... they're gone. This is my experience from the tropics.
Again, great set!
bruce
Thanx Bruce. There were several varieties that I never managed to get a shot of because they either never landed, or landed only momentarily. I don't use a tripod for the reasons you state. I do use a heavily diffused flash on a low setting, (shorter flash burst), to freeze them.

I'm glad you like my butts - not butt Herb.

That's a lot of butterflies! Some of the crops are a bit tight for my taste, that's my only nit in an otherwise great series of images! -Mike
Thanx Mike. I normally crop close up shots tighter to show more detail.

Nice post, Ron. Really nice.
Each of these is exceptionally good from A to W, (there's always room for improvement ).
No favorites, I like them all best.
(But I like the last one bestest.)
Charlie
Thanx Charlie. You (almost) always make me smile.
