Flying is hard work!  Let's see you try it!

 

In addition to the strong downstroke of it's wings, observe the focus a butterfly has when flying to the next flower. I've taken photos where the butterfly's tongue is drinking nectar before the butterfly has even landed on the flower.

 

This picture was taken about 3 pm and is backlit.  Lost full sun due to wispy cloud cover, decreasing light and causing shutter speed to be a little slower than desired.

 

Butterfly blipping continues!
