Poor guy has a chuck of his wing missing and not able to fly. ( photo / image / picture from okietriker's Garden )
Ouch!! Hmmm, no repair service for Limenitis arthemis astyanax. It still looks serviceable, maybe it is resting after its mishap. :-( Jerry
Yes, I agree with Jerry. These injuries are not always life threatening. Maybe he just needs a little rest after some kind of mishap. Barb in Pa. PS I do believe I have one of these growing on me. LOL
Yes...very pretty butterfly ...I can't believe we have sulphurs and a few other ones around our area...we get a few warm days and then back to the 20's or low 30's at night...not what the butterflys need. The way the winds are blowing I think they will be far from our area...
