Arthur writes:
"I took several shots [as one must] including with a macro lens, which seemed the best option for capturing the little chap. But although good in parts they lacked sufficient depth of field to focus on the body and wings together.
"The shots with the EF-S 17~85 lens were not so close up but the 8 megapixel image allowed me to crop the photo and have plenty of information left [at least for one used to using 2.1 megapixels] Best of all the depth of field was much better for capturing the wings and body.
"I have read photographers critical of photos cropped rather than framed at time of capture but it certainly solves the problem of focus without having to resort to ring flash and stopping down to a small aperture. I suspect use of flash is more likely to frighten the insect away preventing a subsequent attempt at image capture. Whatever that is how it was taken."

This is a most impressive photograph. When viewed on a large LCD screen the effect is stunning. The light on the wings is magic. I have directed many of my friends to dpexpert to share the pleasure.
