Aren't you ashamed to shoot such tiny and cute creatures
with that kind of big guns, Russ?

- Many thanks, Jan - glad you like it. The hot weather over the last couple of weeks has provided a bonanza of these little beauties hereabouts.

- Cheers David, glad you like it . It makes a welcome change for me to shoot butterflies in the garden, and entails far less travelling!
