And the Swallowtail!!! If you search just by that name you will find many different species. In your case it's the Eastern Swallowtail, specifically the subspecies Papilio glaucus meynardi. https://www.researchgate.net/figure...tern-tiger-swallowtail-A-and-B_fig2_263331640

The bottom one is absolutely perfect.

Thanks!

No hybridization, just two different species!!! I just checked the internet and was very surprised from what I found: the things created by AI in this specific case are totally misleading - it's talking about two FORMS or SUBSPECIES (American and Eurasian) instead of two SPECIES. Total mess!
In Wikipedia it's better (and still not perfect! Do they started using AI too?!).

Thanks. I'll keep my eyes open on the sources.

I love the insect's metallic colours.

I love the insect's metallic colours.

It's remarkable how many insects do have metallic colours in the sun that you don't see with the naked eye a yard away. Yesterday, I went out for 10 minutes to test the combination of the RF 100-400mm + 2xTC (on the R5ll) as @Maximilian has had success with it close up. It does work very well at close to the mfd with a magnification of nearly 0.8x. Here are 4 tiny insects who were simply convenient targets as there are clearly so many of them crawling over flowers and now I have Observident I find out in seconds what they are! Oedemera lurida viriscens, ClusterFly, Swollen Thighed Beatle and a Wilke's mining bee.

The combo works well even in combination with an APS-C body like my R50.
Only The AF area is reduced.
