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

Not sure I agree; from these two examples. Looks to me as though the differences are likely due mostly to differences of placement of a shallow DoF.
