I took these with my Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX DG.
I struggled a bit with the second shot because the butterfly was about the size of my thumbnail [60% crop] and the Sigma's minimum focus distance of 4.5 Metres.Comment Image

Fantastic details! I've been trying to nail a photo of a dragonfly but haven't much luck this year so far!

There were quite a few out today and also loads of bloody Horseflys.
My arms are bitten to shreads and my head got a bit scorched.
