This girl is obviously an older butterfly by the her damaged wings which are completely gone on the lower right.
But those wings did not keep her from getting nectar from the lilac hedge along our yard!
Although I cannot be 100% sure, I think she is in flight in this shot. I stood there for a long time photographing the butterflies focusing on the ones in flight rather than those feeding.
Thank you all for popping in with your kind comments and favs. I really appreciate it.
