Hairy Chest - _TNY_5865
Here is a portrait shot of a scarce copper (Lycaena virgaureae) sporting some impressive chest hair while drinking from a common yarrow (Achillea millefolium).
Really quite pleased with getting this shot. Normally, the MP-E65mm lens with it's maximum working distance of 101 mm / 4" means you scare butterflies off before you get them in focus, but here it worked out.
From a little further away, this species look like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53518977898/
