Hard knock butterfly life
Ragged fritillary
In the continued heat, there are still Fritillaries working the flowers, but atop the hydrangea blooms, one Great Spangled landed and revealed just how hard life can be. The poor butterfly was missing most of his hind wings, no doubt the result of run-ins with birds. Fortunately for this guy, evolution worked to direct the predator's aim to the back end of the wings. He could live, even fly, with what he lost.
