I spotted this coupled pair of scarlet mormons (Papilio rumanzovia), also known as the red mormon, hanging from a leaf quite high up at my local butterfly house.
Fortunately, this was just after I had gotten myself a (Sigma) 180mm lens which offered much better reach than what I could achieve with the 100mm. Thus, I extended both sections of the tripod legs as much as the could and raised the center column to the max and was able to capture these through the leaves and vines hanging from the ceiling at pretty much level height.
A shot of this couple from the other side showing the colouration on the ventral side of the wings here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52894037272/
