High Up - _TNY_0856

After having visited the Haga Ocean butterfly house around a hundred times by now, I am noticing that I spot a lot more butterflies than the average visitor. This malachite butterfly (Siproeta stelenes) was sitting a bit higher up in the foliage where nobody seemed to bother to look - which was a shame so I made sure to point it out to some of the others that day.

 

Since I shoot butterflies with a 180 mm macro lens coupled with a 2x teleconverter for a focal length of 360 mm, I was able to still get quite close after hiking up the tripod to its maximum height.
