Thanks! Yes, it is the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens.Cactusdave wrote:Very nice pictures. You are using the Canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens I guess? The butterfly is really enjoying the salts in the sweat on your fingers.

Nice work, MacroLuv.
What's interesting to me about MacroLuv's series is that the butterfly's proboscis is uncurled in only one of the photos. For a butterfly on a finger, I would have expected the proboscis to be out and probing most of the time. This one seems just friendly!

Depends on species, gender, and probably quite a bit more. See HERE for another picture and some discussion of this salt-licking behavior.l2oBiN wrote:Quite unusual to see a blue doing that...?

Thanks folks!
Well, this one was extremely friendly! I have hundreds photgraphs of this same guy. From the EXIF data, I can conclude that I was walking around more than one hour and half with this little creature on my hand.
Speaking about friendly behavior, I bet on Sue's comment in Rik's topic (topic ID 4775): " These guys can be cooperative if the weather is a bit cool."
Indeed, they turn somehow lazy at late afternoon.
So I think this guy was enjoying the warmth of my hand rather than salinity.
