Not Quite Out of Reach - _TNY_1775
This and one or two more Julia longwings (Dryas iulia), also called the flame, were flying near the ceiling at "my" butterfly house which made them definately out of reach for me.
But then this one landed (upside down, no less) a little lower so I set up my tripod with everything extended and the three feet narrowly together to gain as mych height as possible.
This, plus that the massive resolution of my camera's sensor allows for a lot of cropping, mean that I at least could get this close to it.
Here is a previous shot of the same species: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51944131988/
