Description
The Glasswing butterfly was good enough to return to this favourite plant so I could use one of my slave flash units to get some lighting to highlight the pollen.. Thanks for taking time to look and your comments

Such amazing little creatures!

Danny...This is out of this world amazing. I had no idea there was a Glasswing Butterfly. Not only is the beauty of this wonderful creature so amazing, but your photography skills really shine here. To be able to pick up the pollen is amazing in itself, but having shown such detail in the Butterfly is such an added bonus. I've been so impressed by your photographic skills for such a long time, but no more so than I am with this wonderful image. I could never say enough about this work. Fantastic!...Have a wonderful day, my friend!...Cheryl
