Half of an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly!

Not sure how this one was flying, with all of the missing wing, but it sure seemed to do pretty well.

[Anne Pancella]

Ouch! That's the worst I have ever seen as far as missing parts.

[Milanie]

How do they manage their balance like that! Poor guy - must have been some battle.

[PhylM-S]

Wow. Wild find!

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Poor thing, interesting find.

[Diana]

Oh shame, a bit tattered and torn but still lovely.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Oh my goodness, it's really hanging on to life!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that's some damage!

[Esther Rosenberg]

and still pollinating.
