~ These images of Papilio xuthus, Asian Swallowtail, 柑橘凤蝶, were taken using the EF 200mm f/2.8L II telephoto lens on the EOS 1D X…as the butterfly's wings were in near constant fluttering motion, it was necessary to focus on the eyes and tongue, rather than on the wings…it appeared to like Buddleja nectar, actively feeding from bloom to bloom
