Butterfly Macro Close-Up Detail

Extreme macro photograph of butterfly resting on purple flower, Monarch butterfly with distinctive orange and black wing pattern, wings fully spread showing intricate details, positioned on purple coneflower with spiky center. Extreme macro detail visible: individual wing scales creating color pattern visible as tiny overlapping scales, compound eyes showing hexagonal facet detail, segmented antennae with club at tip, proboscis partially coiled, fine hairs on body segments, legs with tiny claws gripping flower. Natural outdoor lighting: soft morning sunlight from side creating gentle shadows defining butterfly three-dimensional form without harsh contrast, slight backlight on wing edges creating translucency showing wing structure, flower and background in soft bokeh. Shot with 100mm macro lens at f/5.6 for shallow depth of field with butterfly head and nearest wing section in perfect sharpness, background completely out of focus creating smooth bokeh in soft greens, close working distance showing exceptional detail. Photorealistic macro rendering: wing scales showing overlap pattern and individual scale detail, wing veining visible showing structural support, compound eye showing facet structure and slight reflections, antennae showing segmentation, flower petals showing texture and pollen, authentic natural colors without over-saturation. Natural macro color palette: orange and black butterfly pattern, deep purple flower, soft green bokeh background, natural unprocessed colors, creating professional nature macro aesthetic meeting National Geographic insect photography standards.
