Thanks for looking and commenting, Don, Chuck, Joel, Mike x2 and Nathan.

I forgot to mention the background. Apparently, flutterbys are not affected by Poison Oak. It has a viney form that climbs trees.

Excellent.........as usual.  The fine detail is amazing!

The Panny 100-400 is really a fine lens And it's got reeeaach. The flutterby 
was 21 ft. away and well up a tree.

For the spider, reported distance is 5.7 ft., but with the 1.5 diopter Nikon 5T mounted, it was much closer than that, and couldn't have been over 2 ft. from front of the lens. The detail limit here is imposed by ISO 6400 in deep shade.

Underbelly, no?

Yes.

I wonder if they also understand quantum physics?

Of course, but it's an intuitive understanding that they can't explain to us. So Feinman is still right . . .about humans. :-)

Nice shot of the Tiger Swallowtail. I'll assume the Western species. I 
sometimes confuse the Eastern tiger Swallowtail from the Canadian Tiger 
Swallowtail--formerly even considered subspecies.

Seems you are enjoying the new B'fly kit.  Thanks for posting.

Less dedicated to flutterbys than Big Foot and his siblings. I shoot whatever comes near and sits still for a moment. There were a couple of other candidates,a big one with orange on the edges of the wings and a small one. But they declined to come over to our side of the creek and I wasn't wearing footwear for a crossing . . .

That's a swallow-no-tail.
Here's one in our yard without the bite out of its butt.

Nice. Still missing the little points on the bottom, though. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papilio_rutulus#/media/File:Wtigerswallowtail.JPG>
