Great @Christophe Berche! Nothing to add. Perfect position, light, colors and DOF. Is it stacked? Well done my friend!

Thanks Helix, no stacking, just one shoot.

I was quite far from the f4.5 butterfly, I cropped the photo, the speed is high, because I did not use a tripod, and it is necessary t of speed with the 180 macro

Perfect photo especially well done at f4.5.
Great composition, detail and colors. A first class image
