This is one of over a hundred photos I have taken in the last two days of butterflies. The crafty Germans have a live exhibition on from Christmas until March, they import the pupas then wait until they hatch and let the public in for a small charge. Set in a huge greenhouse it makes for an interesting photographic challenge. I made the mistake of going on the weekend first but it was swarming with children determined to maul every single butterfly that settled anywhere for longer than 10 seconds. Today I returned to have a little more space and five hours of solid photography in relative peace and quiet.
