As for why some may be more flighty then others may be do to how they handle the heat. Insects are more active as the day gets hot so the best times to photograph them is earlier and later in the day, but you may already know that. My next guess might be better developed sight, but usually its the heat. All the best!<br /><br />P.s. if your ever looking for a macro lens to photograph insects and you are looking to have a larger working distance the larger the focal length the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956688919638167215.post-30412594496163436022010-07-24T12:54:33.722-05:002010-07-24T12:54:33.722-05:00I've just come to accept that I cannot shoot e...I've just come to accept that I cannot shoot every butterfly that flits by me!

The map in my book shows it is up here, too, but I have only seen the silver-bordered fritillary.<br /><br />Yes, I think you would enjoy having field guides for both butterflies and wildflowers.
