Looks like a very nice lens with sharp edge-edge to detail; HW Colias eurytheme?

As I find "This data is ..." SEE HERE mildy annoying can you imagine how I, as an entomologist, feel about the orientation of this wing?
No?
OK. :lol:

” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

You have a good eye NU. It is C. eurytheme. In the light of day, I actually find the gaudy color more disturbing than the wing orientation - I think I was overly aggressive with the Curves and Saturation controls, moving away from the softer banana tones of the butterfly (Velvia instead of Kodachrome).
