OK, I'll start.

Small Blue cupido minimus. Britain's smallest butterfly. Unfortunately, the weather was too grey for them to be flying today:





And a fun one from yesterday: a Small Heath skulking in the grass:

That last one taken with a 24mm lens - you have to get really close with that thing!

I think this little lump of gold will become a small tortoiseshell butterfly

If the subjects are cooperative enough to let me get close, I'm really liking the different perspective I get from my Sigma 24mm, which cost me next to nothing on ebay a few years ago. It's surprisingly sharp, and very good for close-focus:

#1 Marbled White @ 24mm f/5.6


#2 The same butterfly at @ 180mm
