Tattered Wings

This swallowtail butterfly is starting to show it's age with the tattered wings. I liked that it landed on my wife's Phlox.

Perfect spot to land. Always sad to see the damage to the wings but they seemed to still be able to fly and pollinate.

Looks a bit battle-scarred but still beautiful.
