I tried to get two of them in focus instead of taking a close-up shot of just one butterfly as I usually do.

Both insects are beautifully in focus and sharp, the setting makes a perfect contrast and a superb composition,.
 
Lovely to see the two together, Joelle. Very well focused and composed image.
