Wow! Where were these taken? What species are they? What lens do you use?
Fantastic close up shots. Brilliant.

Superb precision shots. All taken at 100mm focal length, I notice. Would this be the Canon 100mm macro?

Great shots

is the first one an Owl Butterfly from Genus Caligo? Just a guess but are the ones with the red and black parts, the common Rose Swallowtail (Atrophaneura (Pachliopta) aristolochiae)? Can't really 100% tell from these shots what they are, but just a guess based on personal experiences with such species like those.

Hmm, I have one of those Raynoxes from when I used a compact camera. I must fish it out again and give it an airing.

These are truly amazing photos. Lost in awestruck admiration, and sorely tempted to just chuck my camera away!!
