Broken Wing
🦋
While watering my plants this morning I spotted this beautiful Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. When I approached to take a picture I noticed it had a broken hind-wing. I went from feeling happy to sad. Can it still fly..?? !!!!! I hope it can still fly..!!!!
After taking the picture beautiful Butterfly amazingly took to flight with a broken wing.I watched as it flew quite a distant into a large patch of flowering Comfrey.

@annephilbrick We have 10 different types of swallowtails does yours come from the saddleback caterpillar? I love butterflies but hate, hate, hate the saddleback caterpillar. The damn things hurt.

As far as I know we don't have the saddleback caterpillar but do have the Hickory Tussock Caterpillar. They sting but I've never been stung by one. I rarely see one Thank goodness...!!
@annephilbrick what kind of caterpillar does your swallowtail butterfly come from? Is it the Hickory Tussock?

@annephilbrick that was an interesting read, thank you. I will keep an eye out for the butterfly eggs, now that I know what I am looking for. Nature is awesome.
I love these butterflies! Poor thing must have had birds trying to capture it but I am glad that it got away and was still able to fly. Awesome photo! Be sure to put the link to this post here to be entered in the giveaway. Thanks for using #butterflyday tag! : )
