Common blue butterfly (Polyommatus icarus)
Hand held with garden cane, Canon 5D IVCanon 180mm macro
Auto ISO1600 , 1/1000 sec f9
ACR + PSCC
The garden cane or a piece of dowelling about 4 foot long, hold the tripod foot and the cane in the left hand, you can find any height any angle very quickly, I find this much more flexible than a monopod (also lighter!). I hold the foot against the cane as opposed to the camera so I don't scratch the camera. the cane is also very useful for moving blades of grass out of the way without disturbing the insects.
