I agree, the pictures are great, Jim, excellent job capturing your
elusive co-habitants.
One thing strikes me (which is out of your control), though: the
bokeh on the Swallowtail is, to me, rather unpleasant in the upper-
left part especially, and the top of the rear wing seems "not right".
Having been off the circuit for what seems like ages and not at all
able to follow E-thing-lenses, I am not sure if that's typical for
the Zuiko 14-54?
