Done with my Canon 70-300mm and flash.

I don't know the type of butterfly this is, and I don't even know if that little thing nearby is a mite or what. Today, I tried out my Canon 70-300mm on the butterflies. With a flash, it seemed to work pretty well, as far as detail goes. The flash overexposed the plant's front, so I reversed that with PS's Camera Raw, which did a great job.

Another butterfly at the Calgary Zoo. I was trying for a butterfly in flight, which just the butterfly in sharp focus, but the butterflies didn't seem to care.
