Ugly it may be, but the button control layout is superb, the grip (and battery grip) fill the hand perfectly and it's got the best rear-LCD display I've ever seen (the rear display rotates as the body does, and you can navigate it with the joystick to change settings, works brilliantly). I often

Peter, if you look at the pic Bob posted of the butterfly that looks like mine, it is not a Monarch, but a cousin, the Queen Butterfly. I believe the simple answer to the problem is that the butterfly I shot is in fact a Queen Butterfly. I will ask the folks tomorrow at the nursery as they are
