Single Species Session, Pt. 4 - _TNY_0066

When visiting the Haga Ocean butterfly house, I typically come away with shots of a whole bunch of species, but on my August 30th visit (of 2024), I shot nothing but this species, the pink rose (Pachliopta kotzebuea), also known as the velvet rose.

This is a bit of a special species among the ones I've seen there with the spectacular red body and the matte black wings. And this time there were around ten of them which had recently hatched.

For this closeup, I tried to get as absolutely close as was possible with the gear I had which took some time as that meant moving the tripod closer and closer in minute increments until the focus was where I wanted it. Since this was with the 2x teleconverter on the 1:1 lens, the magnification level here is 2:1 which offered some nice detail on the compound eye.

Part 1 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53961609901/ and part 2 here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53982774156/ are different specimens, but all shot at the same time.

Part 3 is obviously the same butterfly, but a slightly wider framing: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54065459832/
