Ragged

A skipper that’s a bit worse for wear.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

‘Draw the Curtain’ at the Hirshhorn, posted earlier:


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Such resilience! Sharp shot.

We nearly all get a little like this towards the end!

Awwww, so sad to see it like this.

Late in the year for butterflies. Hopefully its life was full and productive.

It does look a bit bedraggled. Nicely captured on the accommodating green leaf.
Hank Vander Velde13-Oct-2021 00:43
Seen better days for sure, but you got an excellent sharp shot.

This Skipper butterfly has had a hard life. Nice shot.

I always thought their wings were a bit fragile. Nice detail! V

This skipper looks like how I sometimes feel.
Dennis Hoyne12-Oct-2021 20:54
It has been through a lot of moth hardships. A really neat find.
Nick Paoni12-Oct-2021 19:42
I agree, it looks like it has had a hard summer. I wonder if it can even fly.
Pierre Martin12-Oct-2021 19:00
it is a fading skipper butterfly, excellent picture!

Whew, wonder how it can fly poor thing.
Dave Berry12-Oct-2021 17:40
Wow, that guy has some flight issues. Great catch, Helen. V

What a great capture of this ragged, but pretty moth. V
