Nice work!

I would only change the background color to a warmer one. Sigma macro lenses + Raynox diopters work great, it's a very nice combo.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words!

For the background I used the box of a handcream, and originally I thought that the dark blue color will emphasize the yellow of the butterfly. When I saw the result, I wasn't really satisfied, but I couldn't change it to a more natural color. I think it's OK for a "studio shot". Also when the picture was ready, I saw that Zerene Stacker clipped a bit from the edges, so the composition could have also been better. But for seeing the magnification capabilities of the 180mm+Raynox combo, that will do.

Just to be clear, this shot was made about a dead Colias sp. butterfly. It was a victim of our university's bug collecting and preparating credit course.
