Those butterfly's Are Sure Small
This picture was taken during a visit to Callaway Gardens in their butterfly aviary. The butterfly was on a leaf about 15 feet away. A 350mm telephoto lens with electronic flash was used to get the picture. This was essentially a flash picture, which accounts for the dark background. The nearest light reflecting object was about 15-20 feet away. The actual picture, prior to scanning, and changing in Photoshop, is placed here for comparison. I felt that the Photoshop one is more of an abstract image in the sense that it is not readily recognizable as a butterfly. I've had some tell me they thought it was a burning candle. Perhaps the original is your "cup of tea". Let me know which one you prefer. And, of course, you always have the option of "None."
