Now, three weeks into July, the real butterflies show up.? First, was an 
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.

At the same time, what I think to be a Black Swallowtail, appeared.? 
 From reference photos, it could be a Spicebush.? Hard, for me, to 
distinguish.

When these showed up unexpectedly, I unscrewed the close-up lens I was 
using and shot with the 55mm f/1.8 Takumar, then cropped.

I added the close-up lens once more, and this battered Common Buckeye 
appeared.? From his appearance, he must have played in the days of Woody 
Hayes at Ohio State.

All of these were shot using my monopod for support.? That was much 
better than simply hand-held.

Moose, you've showed me another option!
