Congratulations!
I know how you feel. Just this week , I finally got a dorsal shot of a Sleepy Orange.

If not for digital cameras ...

Robert, yes thanks to digital.
This is the best of about 50, or so, shots of this butterfly!

Good going! Sometimes, I think there are three types of b'flies:
1. Those you can't shoot with their wings open.
2. Those you can't shoot with their wings closed.
3. Those you can't shoot, period.

Ron, You've covered them all.
I even tried raising these and the darn things open, hang around for hours, then take off without so much as a stretch or test flap.

The ingrates!
After all you've done to improve the odds for them. (I've read only 2 of 600 eggs make it to adulthood in the wild.)

No wonder there are insect freezers among us.

You really need to write a light hearted field guide for bug hunters.
