They are uncommon and hard to spot--often high up in red cedars. I had never
seen one. Went out special today on a quest with a new kit and was fortunate
enough to come across one and at eye level no less. She was
perhaps 1/2 inch across max. Only one shot was good enough to use:

I think the CU diopter resulted in the IS not working as well as usual. If
raised the ISO to inc SS the flash/ambient was off. T32 is OK on my other kit
but not optimal at high mag with PL 100-400 at 400mm with the Pentax
T132--distant background fools the auto mode and over exposes. Desire to get
every part the B'fly in focus--likely need to stack for quiet one--I know it is
possible. May have to listen to Moose and use an LED with higher SS though
always liked the flash to help freeze motion.
Still Chasin' em, Mike
