Butterflies

  I and my Maruska have been trying take a pictures of the butterflies since 1999. It isn't so easy as somebody could think. If someone don't believe it than he will can try it. This page is result of our more or less patient tittuping behind the flying butterflies. I have to thank to Maruska for her patience when I spend a lot of minutes by taking this pictures.
  In the beginning I have to say that all of this pictures are taken with natural conditions (without freezing or other special methods). Most of these pictures are taken by manual camera PRAKTICA MTL 5B with lens 50 mm / 1,8 + extension tubes or teleconverter. Some new pictures are taken by PENTAX MZ6 with 28-70 mm / 4.
  If anybody recognise unnamed butterfly, much less caterpillar, then pleas email me to : Kejzlal@email.cz.
