I'm sure you are all tired of seeing spider lilies, but I took one more 
image this morning to illustrate something I have observed for the past 
week.  The migrating yellow butterflies always pass over the spideys and a 
few will stop.  When they do, they invariably light on the underside of the 
bloom, making photos very difficult to obtain. For this one, I got out the 
longest lens that I have, an old 200mm Takumar, and waited until I had a 
view of the insect.
