I've always tried to take a picture of a butterfly close up. Never really worked though. Beautiful shot.

Beautiful! How do you get so close without them flying away?

I used a 300mm lens. Didn't have to get that close, though they were very calmer than usual that day.

Love the shot - such vibrant color - oh MY! The image is perfectly sharp - you gotta love that!!! And sooooo many butterflies on one flower - OMG!
Nit picky portion of the comment - love the central flower, the second gracing the upper right edge - not so much. Looks to me like editing this flower out would be "over the top" hard and it's too late to suggest retaking the picture with either a different angle or a wider angle....just a bit of composition nonsense....
