Wounded Warrior

Something took a good bite out of this painted lady butterfly. It didn't seem to affect its ability to fly, though. One of their their larval food plants is the mallow that I posted a few days ago:

Looks like a survivor, nicely done.

That's a major chunk! It's amazes me how it doesn't seem to really affect their flying. Like the mallow - didn't know that's what it was. Beautiful color.

I have been seeing a lot lately in a similar state. Yesterday I saw a dragonfly with one of its four wings gone and it flew just fine.
