not the clearest shot but this is the Cairns Birdwing
Comment Image

That Grevillea is about 7-9 inches in length so you can see it is one big butterfly
Took this with the Da 300+converter at some distance.

Thanks Roshni, settings were on AV for both, and f6.7, iso 100,@ 1/180 for the close up and without the converter the other was f5.6, iso 100, @1/180 , flash was fired for both, using the 1.7 converter means some manual adjustment to the lens is required before auto focus can work.

thanks john and Peter
Lens used was Da 300 +Pentax 1.7 converter, didn't want to get to close and scare them off.
