Description
I photographed this butterfly at the Butterfly House at the zoo. I asked the man there why this little soul's wings would be so tattered. He said it was purely a case of old age. The butterflies in there lived much, much longer than those in nature.

I suppose the older it gets the more prone it gets to flying around in circles. Great shot.
Nice shot.
Tattered maybe, but the colors are still gorgeous!!
Very nice shot
I asked JUST the same thing at London Zoo.. Butterflies there were ragged.. Beautiful though.. Rob

Outstanding capture my friend.
Very wonderful photo!
very lovely looking
Nice shot and it looks great against the greens. And the wings give it character!
Beautiful capture!
It is to bad that the wings are so battered but you caught those beautiful colors so well. Dana
It has beautiful coloring! Their wings are so fragile. An old butterfly is only weeks past emerging from the chrysalis.
