Subject: [Leica] IMG: Clouded Sulphur B'fly

The yellow Clouded Sulphur butterflies have been around the spider lilies 
this week, but they are difficult to approach.  I decided to try to grab an 
image of one in flight.  It was not until I processed the image that I 
realized he was flying with his tongue fully extended.  This is about a 10% 
crop of the 4/3 image.
