Pictures taken at a butterfly conservatory today. I don't see a macro thread, and this is wildlife ...?

Canon 7D on manual,
Canon 100 f/2.8L IS Macro,
580 EXII flash with Rogue Flash Bender large diffuser.

The humidity and temperature were so high, it took about 25 minutes for my front element to defog. Thank goodness for weather sealing, or I would have had the insides go as well.

To change lenses, I had to go back to the lobby. I took some good shots with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS2, but found it was not focusing short enough distances, or accurately enough for my liking. I guess I should have had an extension tube.

The girl was scared of this large creature on her shoulder
