Hi Mike,
I tried last year without the TC, and wasn't happy with the result, so added
it this time. I'm afraid it softens the image quality a little, but at
least the image is large enough to see the details.
Your's is a nice image, and you captured him upright. They seem to like the
underside of the spider lilies.
I agree, I think it is a Clouded Sulfur.
