He's probably aged & his wings are tattered so he's probably had a rough life. I hope all of you can see the beauty in him that I see in him despite his imperfections! Yep, life is grand!
it's amazing how they can still fly with such battered or tattered wings...this is an American Snout butterfly and I've only seen one so far, so thank you!
Artist Reply: Thanks for comments & info on his name! It is amazing sometimes to see what shape some insects are in & yet they manage to go on! I guess they have the perseverence to survive like we do!
