Butterfly & Locust Borer, Newcastle, Texas

Here's a small butterfly slowly uncoiling its tongue while creeping up behind a Locust Borer beetle. I was getting a few pix of the beetle when the butterfly landed and began approaching very, very slowly.

Nikon D60, 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens attached... pop-up flash lighting.
