Nice job Roy. These guys are what I would call a real test in patience.
They are never still much longer than a few milliseconds, or so it seems.

Good sharp shot. #1563710

Coming from someone who tried to photograph butterflies today at the Cincinnati Zoo I can honestly say you did an awesome job with this shot!!! I never realized myself how hard it was until I got home and none of mine came out. GREAT JOB Roy!! #1563712
