There are several difficult aspects of getting good macro photographs of butterflies: the subject has to be cooperative and be tolerant of the photographer's aproach and remain still, the air should be still to allow small apertures and slow shutter speeds that will yield sufficient depth of focus, and the background must be uncluttered to prevent distractions from the subject in the final photo.

These are large butterflies and this one seemed a bit friendly, landing on me several times.
