This is a nice lens for larger insects, but getting back far enough can be a challenge. It really needs the 1.4x to get a decent "framefull" of subject. I have the 100 - 400 L II on the way and it will probably be my more often used lens for this type of photography.

Swallowtail butterflies often symbolize transformation, hope, and new beginnings due to their metamorphic life cycle. In various cultures, they are seen as symbols of beauty, grace, and the transient nature of life.
