Thanks, Click!Very nice series, Del Paso.
Nice shot with intense color contrast (obviously)! What type of butterfly is that?
Could it be Thymelicus sylvestris?Still don't know 100% what this is, but I suppose it's from the family hesperiidae.
If someone knows, please let me know.

Great shot!EDIT: Hummingbird Clearwing?
Look for Hemaris and depends where you took the photo you may have an easy ID...
Thank you.Look for Hemaris and depends where you took the photo you may have an easy ID...
Looks like H. thysbe for me too... On other hand I have not much info about the rest of Hemaris in N. America (3 more I think?).Thank you.
Hemaris thysbe (I think).
A few better(?) images from the same set:

I've been one of the bigger 'honks' on this website for Canon's M bodies...and have, for a decade or so now, given serious thought to the subject of acquiring images with the aid of a viewfinder vs using an LCD screen. For all I know this has been discussed in detail already here...
I can distinctly recall an 'early' epiphany (for me) about a decade ago when I learned that 'taking pictures' at a rock concert, seated/standing two rows from the stage (widely varying lighting conditions)...was facilitated quite nicely without the aid of a viewfinder (using the tiny-and-stealthy Canon S95)...adjusting exposure compensation on-the-fly...constantly...for the better part of an hour (hundreds of images)...with constant monitoring of the rear-screen LCD. Viewing the LCD allowed examination of the entire image and stage...and the lighting conditions for much of the stage. It is almost as if half-an-arms-length distance between my eyes and the screen I was examining enabled me to be more aware of what was happening on-stage, including lighting changes. For printed images up to 8x10...it really worked...and I've never forgotten that.
But the images presented here (5DMkIII + 100-400II) were acquired using the optical viewfinder...and if I had been using my M6MkII instead of the full-frame 5D, I would have attached the electronic viewfinder--telephoto lens usage at the long end, at least in my hands, REQUIRES a viewfinder.
In this case, all I wanted to see was the 'target'...probably obvious to many reading this but not so much to me.
