Very clever! Must have been a very docile butterfly. I can't get any to sit still that long and I have only a camera to hold.

@James: I think I would have had trouble as well. The Magnifying Glass was added post production as I felt the original shot lacked a little detail.

@Jen: I've tried to shoot through a magnifying glass before with limited success, I never seemed to get it quite right. To actually get this shot in camera would have been far more luck than judgment, so perhaps I cheated a little and did the hard work post production. thanks for your comment.
