ETA: this was only my 4th photo with the camera & it blew me away how wonderfully it turned out, especially given the butterfly is small & quick; I wouldn't have been able to appreciate their beauty otherwise.

I haven't seen one since & it was the only shot I got. It may've been a very lucky one indeed.
