Another Monarch there everywhere here now on the migration to Mexico

All I had was a 300 f4.5 for warbler shooting and no extension tubes. Macro shooting at 10 feet leaves something to be desired.

I finally get to shoot a different butterfly at Wako and I can't find it in either of my two pamphlets

It looks like a Black Demon skipper, but it would be very, very far from its home in India. Did you get a look at the underside?

No, barely got the top side.

For some reason I always struggle to get sharp shots of butterflies with my 70-300 Tammy, they generally look softer than an equivalent shot of a bird and I don't know why. Perhaps its just harder to get precise focus on them?
In any case this is a rare shot that I am happy with. A Monarch I believe in The Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.

Thanks Elliot. My photo looks similar to their photo. I submitted my sighting to them for verification.
