Finger Fed Butterfly

Technique: I found this butterfly at the beginning of  the day, a little more hungry than afraid of me. I held my finger close to the critter and waited for it to start eating the artificial nectar I had on my finger, then carefully coaxed it into climbing  on. Took me three tries, and I was surprised that I pulled it off. Later in the day when the butterfly is casually feeding I don't think it would have worked.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 25mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, both on the Canon flash mount). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
