Here is a grab shot of some beautiful orange flowers I can't identify and a hungery butterfly.

Canon 5D, ISO 400 with 24-105 4.5 L @f11 and 1/400 sec exposure

Not the best but exciting (to me) jst the same.

Kalanchoe

I think the flower is Kalanchoe. Nice capture. Those butterflies just won't pose for you when you ask...(lol).

Nathaniel,

That's as near to a butterfly ballet anyone has shown! No physical specs needed!

ChatKat,

Thanks for the info and the encouragement. I followed that little critter around for several minutes. Sort of like the cartoons, with the predator's jaws snapping and just missing. This is as close as i got to a good one.
