"Butterflies are free …."

….except at the Butterfly House at Brookside Gardens where I went this morning to put this lens through its paces. It was well worth the $8 price of admission, however.   I haven’t shot a lot of butterflies, so I found it a bit challenging.  I ended up with a few interesting shots and I especially liked this one of a Julia Longwing Butterfly.  I have included a Blue Banded Swallowtail in the extras.  Please note, I have attempted to identify these butterflies but would welcome any corrections, if I haven’t got it right.  
  

I have this macro lens for another week so be forewarned, my shots may get a little tedious.
