Well, it sat long enough for this nice capture of it. I have no idea what it is sitting on or the bg, but the neutral bg works well for the subject. Thanks for sharing, John.

Wonderful detail, John and an interesting pose. What was it sitting on?

John:
You must be pretty close with a 60mm to get this much details.

Believe or not it is a piece of cardboard. It was quite breezy that day and I was trying to rig something to block the wind, as it turns out it was pretty janky. I regret posting it, he seemed more interested hanging out on the cardboard rather than the flower. I had not photographed one of these before so I was looking for an edge. Turns out yesterday while out on the Prairie they were out on goldenrod, mush nicer BG. It was relatively calm but didn't have my tripod with so had to handhold. I may post one as I caught the head in focus but the tail is pretty OOF.
