User's notes
This Australian Painted Lady Butterfly landed very near me, before opening its wings. It was very patient, allowing me to get very close with my lens, even though it was a telephoto lens. It appeared to be warming up in the sun. Even when I covered it in my shadow a couple of times it did not fly off. It was only when I stood up after photographing it that it took off.
