Buckeye Butterfly on a wild yellow cone flower

The lighting was changing constantly as the sun would disappear behind gray storm clouds but I took a few shots and came away with this one. The Buckeyes are very beautiful with the circles that to predators looks like eyes. Notice the fine hair around the center of back. I was using a 20mm extension tube with 300mm f/4 prime.
