Thanks, Bruce, Steven, Bob, Don, Ann and Larry, for you kind comments. The plant is a butterfly bush (Buddleja). The lens was my smc DA 28-135 f3.5-5.6 AL [IR] DC WR. That's what it says on the lens; I have no idea what all the letters mean. <G> This bush is quite large, and the butterflies move so quickly that I have only been able to catch them with a zoom lens, and this one seems to have the most appropriate range of focal lengths for that purpose.
I did crop it a bit, to remove a dead blossom, but I think I will go back to the original file and try a slightly different crop, using your suggestions.
