I have not loaded any images in quite a while and aim to rectify this following Gerry's recent post, Where did everyone go?

I took this image today which is going to be today's 365 photo. Not sure of the ID but just look at those bright green legs.

Those are some socks! Maybe it's butterfly christmas?

I wonder whether you can squeeze a little sharpness out of this one though. Great capture nontheless. When did you start a 365?

It is a little soft, was shot at f2.8 on the long end of my 70-200. This is also a crop of the original to make the butterfly more prominent in the frame.

The 365 project was started 01/01/2011, other images are on my zenfolio site, link in signature.

You lucky sod Geoff,
This is a Macleay's Swallowtail and I have had no luck in getting one to sit still.

Funny you should say that Colin, it was very flighty and would only settle for a few seconds, even then the wings were beating almost constantly. I was watching a couple of them for around 30 - 40 mins and this was the best out of around half a dozen shots I managed to get.

Thanks for the ID too

I love the creamy bokeh and the colours in this. You were very patient!
