Description
On my way home from work today, I chanced upon this poor fellow. he apparently collided with an auto and managed to make it to the sidewalk.
I much rather prefer to take their photos while in flight or perched on a flower. but I felt he needed some remembrance. may his heaven be filled with necter-filled flowers and willing females.

Excellent capture and touching tribute my friend!!!
Nice capture Mike, I agree with Will!
May he rest in peace. His lifeless body is still beautiful with those awesome brown and white colors. What a sentimental dedication to one of the most fragile insects Mother Nature has to offer.
Great capture Mike!! Beauty even in death.
Poor thing. Great capture, Mike!
Awww, poor little guy. I like your wish for him Mike. I wish the same. So many creatures get killed by cars it's not funny. People just don't care :(

The end of a Swallottail Mike and it is nice that you gave this flutterrby a last chance for glory!
That's part of life here on Earth! - I have got quite a few pix of dead insects, to say the least - those images are never blurred ;) BB

Reminds of the song "Poor Butterfly" awwwww
Oh poor thing, it's only a shadow of what it was. Your capture is special to me, I never saw this kind before, Mike.
