With swallowtails, I can get about 6 inches away and they don't even care. Haha, they are just concentrating on the nectar in the flowers! For some of these, I was probably a 12-18 inches away from them. I can then download my photos to my computer and use my photo editor and zoom in on the part of the photo I want to feature on my posts. Other butterflies, like skippers and smaller butterflies move around fairly quickly or they get scared off by me if I get to close! I have to zoom in with my camera from farther away to they don't fly off!
howdy again violetmed! oh how interesting, I was wondering because it looked like you were right on top of them and I didn't know how skiddish they were.
