Butterfly House, trying out macro

It was quite challenging. For one thing it's winter and there wasn't a lot of light to work with at these magnifications. Also I forgot it was the start of school holidays! The place was packed with kids, who had different priorities to me, such as banging the railings (vibration) and encouraging the butterflies to climb on their hands. So there were a lot of shaky/noisy shots, but here are a couple of the best. Hopefully as I learn more I'll get some better ones, including outdoors when it warms up and there are more insects around.
