I went out today for my first outing with my Z9 to see if I could track butterflies in flight. I failed miserably. I don't know if there is a AF-C mode that will work for bugs and even if there is my technique will need a lot of improving.
I did get this one image of a female great spangled fritillary, cropped quite a bit.

Dan, has it got a 'bird' mode? That might work.

I tried with animal tracking on, did not work too well. I don't see something specifically for birds. There are a lot of different auto focus settings and it will take me some time to figure out which work best for me. I will practice birding soon and I think that getting those setting correct will be easier as there is a lot of information on the internet about which ones work well for birds. Flying insects is a niche.
I am excited about the camera look forward to using it more. I may need to do some hand and wrist exercises to increase my stamina for holding the thing while taking pictures

OUCH! Not for this little black duck then ...I may need to do some hand and wrist exercises to increase my stamina for holding the thing while taking pictures
I looked at some Nikon mirrorless models (Z5 and Z6) at Ted's when I ordered my 8-25
"Almost the same size" and "Just a little bit bigger" than my E-M1 MkII were definitely not phrases that sprang readily to mind ...

A bit larger edition of a very young monarch caterpillar. My girls were rescuing them from the plants they were on and taking them over to the milkweed. We saw a female laying eggs on this same plant, so the girls will be coming back to check on new hatchlings in the next few days.
