Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly!

This one is really battered up. Could hardly get a shot with the wind and it fluttering around. Thing's are really slow, so just have to get what you can.

Know the feeling - he's definitely had a hard life! But made a nice shot anyway in his tatters.

Shame, all battered and bruised. I wonder if it hinders their flight? Lovely detail and composition, fav!

I like the battered feel of a butterfly that has made the most of its short life :)

A little worn and torn like most of us but still battling to stay alive
