Description
This butterfly was another visitor to the Chinese Tallow Tree. Judging by the wing damage, it appears to have had a close call or two.
The catkins on the Chinese Tallow tree have gone and the insects have as well. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted because of the variety and numbers of insects that were drawn to the temporary food source.
My thanks to those who take the time to comment. The feedback is appreciated.

Great work. I would say the damage is simply old age and wear and tear.
Tattered but still lovely
Marvelous capture !
Beautiful, I love to photograph butterflies
