I have found butterflies the hardest so far, they are very skittish so I have had better luck just using my 300mm lens than my macro.

it depend the species of butterfly, the more difficult to approach is this bug : 
he see you 2 or 3 meters before you can do a shot...

Heh, last time I found one of those I failed miserably to get a good photo. It kept moving to the other side of the twig every time I lined up a shot!
