Opps, sorry list members. Here's what I had wanted to send:
It may be a southern species I'm not familiar with, but I would guess
that Jim's "Small Butterfly"
(http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Small+Butterfly.tif.html) is
what's known as the "Sachem."
See http://www.wisconsinbutterflies.org/butterflies/species/239,
especially the second and third shots down. The identifying feature is
the scent-producing mass of black scales on the middle region of the top
of the fore wing.
I like Jim's natural background. Many butterfly photographers,
myself included, use a flash, and, especially with Nikon's 1/250 second
flash snyc, photos of butterflies often look like they were taken at
night--the background is completely (or nearly so) black. Oly's 1/60
flash sync, while allowing for the use of a smaller aperture, also
allows for more ambient light. Nice shot, Jim.
