I have a photo of one of those "89" butterfly. I didn't see the markings until I was going through the photos... pretty cool.

Neat, perhaps try and shoot a little "looser" so that you're not cropping bits of antennae, wing-tips, etc off?

I have to say that you are right, although butterflies are a pain as you include the antenna and the body looks small. Sadly there are none to practice with here at the moment.
