I decided today to take the lens out for a spin.  (Did I mention that this lens focuses down to 1 foot?)  I spotted two butterflies around the Buddleia, so I moved in closer and tried with no success to get some images.  The smart insects managed to keep foliage between themselves and the camera. Finally, I saw the Monarch fly away from the Buddleia and I snapped in that direction.
