Eastern Tiger Swallowtail: A different POV

Here’s my new macro lens doing its thing … since the butterflies seem to be tolerating me getting closer. I like how I caught the slight separation of the forewing and hindwing (upper-right corner) of this Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papiloio glaucus). As for the eyes and the legs, this macro lens is incredibly sharp!
