Your welcome

Great macro shot of this butterfly and Hibiscus flower.
From this image the colour of the flower doesn't look red but a deep pink. (maybe that is my laptop)
Good focus and composition, great lighting.

A beautiful picture of the Lime swallowtail Butterfly sucking nectar from the scarlet Hibiscus Shizopetalus with it's feather like petals & long pistil & stamens surrounding it. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A beautiful butterfly on an equally fine flower. The detail in both the flower and the butterfly could not be better and the colors are outstanding. Best of luck in the contest.
