A butterfly with morning dew on antennae and wings is waiting for the sun to warm it enough so that it can fly away. Focus stacked from 14 exposures.
Four exposures of this common spreadwing was focusstacked to obtain a greater depth of field.
Just minutes after sunrise the Narrow-bordered five-spot burnet (Zygaena lonicerae) is still covered in dew. As it is poisonous and well aware that most predators avoid it, it waits patiently for the sun to warm it and does not seem to be all to alarmed by my presence. This photo is a hand held stack from 37 exposures, stacked in Helicon Focus and developed in Capture One.
