My favourite macro from today was this portrait of a 'Large skipper' butterfly. Despite the name they are a small butterfly species and this portrait was taken at nearly 4 times magnification.
The butterfly had landed on a fence so I was able to get 25 handheld shots and stack the image in PS.
I never noticed they had little horns before!
Taken with Canon 5D4IV and the Canon 65mm MP-E lens

I mentioned a few days ago that I had gone into the woods looking for butterflies, well this is my first attempt at photographing them!
I have no idea what type of butterfly this is - I am sure that it is probably a very common one and not special in any way! My respect goes to those that produce amazing butterfly images - you have the patience of a saint!! :-)
Still, overall (especially without having the use of a macro lens), I feel reasonably happy with my first forage into this genre! :-)
