Very lovely close up. Lucky you... they let you take the shot. In my case... they just keep flying away.

you have a number of macros that are amazing..not just one, but a lot and they are technically at the top.I have always a lot of difficulties keeping the butterflies still on the pictures without medication....hope this is the case here, but nowadays, who knows, drugs are maybe also in fotography not just in sports :-))
I'm joking, it's a very great one!
