Nectar is the Sweet Elixir of Life

Another of the butterfly photos that I took last weekend. Viewed large, you can really see it's eye.
I preferred this over the photo that I took today, which I will post in my Extras album. It is of rays of light coming through clouds at sunset.
Thank you for viewing and your comments.
Great capture

How do you do this?

Butterfly shots are my favourite. What stood out for me is the little spots in the antennae. Great photo!

@msrobynlb I zoomed in with my lens, camera set on sports/action, focused the camera on it and snapped away. Once you focus the lens on the butterfly, it can move around and the camera (in theory) should stay focused on it while in the action setting. There were three of these on the bush. One was upside down, I haven't posted any of it yet.
