[Leica] IMG: The Leica-R 60mm Macro-Elmarit Lens

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking, Don.  I couldn't match the butterfly to any of the 
known black swallowtails because of the orange/red spots near the wing 
tips on the upper side of the wings.  The only one I could find with 
those spots is the Red Spotted Purple, and it is not a swallowtail.
