Great macro. Wonderful detail...fantastic light. Where do you photograph these critters anyway?

@Melissa W.: Thanks, Melissa. I snag 'em down at the Butterfly Gardens at the Indianapolis Zoo. I know, it's kinda cheating, but it allows me to practice my macro work...

Stunning!!!
May I ask what lens you are using? I can't get over this macro and detail!!

@bluechameleon: this is the nikkor 105mm f2.8 vr (how's that for a mouthful?). i'm also using stacked kenko extension tubes; if you have $170 lying around, and like shooting macro, i highly recommend them, as they really open up some possibilities.
thanks for the visit, and the comment!
