A comma Butterfly sipping sweet nectar and still going strong even though they look to have gone through the ringer with wings in tatters. Resilience in action.

It must be hard to fly with wings that battered…I wonder if that is the result of weather?
Hi and I think you re correct. This butterfly must have been through a few rough stoms and perhaps some hail? We did see them lift off and fly away.
Incredible photo! Perseverance!
Yes, perseverance.
Wow!
Indeed!
Fantastic image!
Thanks.
Yea, looks well on his last legs.
Yes, this butterfly has been though a bit of adverse condition but we saw them lift off and fly away just as straight and purposeful as a newly born butterfly.
Still so unique and beautiful.
Yes, and it is just a portrait of old age and a life well lived.
I wonder if it’s camouflage? It looks a bit like a battered fairy hiding in a dead leaf.
They do have a somewhat camouflaged pattern on the outside of their wings the damage was probably due to weather.
Frail and strong at once.
Hi Karen, yes and a reminder that perhaps we all are?
Wow! 🌷
Thanks Ellie.
