Since I'm not as stable on my feet as I was when I was younger, I
decided to try using a monopod to form a human tripod. Though it
hampered sudden response to the movement of my butterflies, I'm
convinced that I got sharper images. Look at the eyes of the Swallowtail.

This little "Yellow Fellow" lingered for a few seconds and was gone. I
assume he is some form of Sulphur Butterfly.

Conclusion: The monopod is worth the awkwardness that it adds to moving
around and tracking a subject.
