I don't know if butterfly wings can decay while the thing is still alive, but they can get tattered, that's for sure. This is my entry for the contest.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Looks like he got his tail feathers caught in the propeller JimboB. He may be tattered but he is not torn. Good post.

Fantastic host Jim! That butterfly looks so delicate. I like the white colouring on its head and the wings.

I thought you wacked him with a fly swatter a few times so he'd sit still for this great shot Jimbo. Nice work and good luck in the contest.
