camera shy flutter by

I was stalking this little sod in my garden for a good 15 minutes.

Every time I pointed the camera at it, it flew away, only to come straight back.

The moment I put the camera down, it landed on my head, and then on my daughters hand.

Butterflies are a nightmare to try and photograph! They are so wary, you've done well do capture that!

When I was out yesterday in the fields, im sure the butterflies could see me from 50metres away. As soon as I got one in my sight and started creeping towards it, it would fly up and over my head and land the same distance on the other side. So i'd turn round and creep that direction, only for it to do it again. I must have looked like I was doing some sort of weird field dance. Fortunately the spiders were performing for me. One even decided to attack and then climb the lens, lol.

Those legs creep me out, I thought butterflies were nice but those legs

I tried taking pictures of hornets and wasps today, it's hard

Nice shot.
