White Admiral Butterfly

It was obvious from the way this butterfly flitted around the ground that he was fluttering his last. Judging from the condition of his wings, he was quite the warrior.

I like the pattern on the wings. At first I didn’t notice the change in the pattern from the outer to the inner wing.

@grammyn It seemed more about age than battle weary but his wings were pretty ragged.

@randystreat Thank you Kathy! Isn't that pretty? And the sun actually lightened him up a bit. He has a nice dark-chocolate coloring when not in direct sunlight like this.

Ahh - it's always sad to see them at this stage...

Beautiful capture. A butterfly has a short life, but as you can see, this specimen spent it very actively.

[Rick Schies]

Excellent capture Ann
