Butterfly, freeze!

Same trail that I saw the monkeys, but further ahead. I titled the image as such because this was the first time I'd ever shot a butterfly that rested on a leaf for so long - I'd reckon about 3 minutes. It also took a bit of discipline on my part not to startle the creature. One complaint about the alpha: the mechanical servo is so loud it could scare an elephant (metaphorically ofcourse =P)
