Tattered, Torn, Withered, and Worn

A White Admiral Butterfly on Echinacea flower. I was surprised to see the entropy theme in both the butterfly wing and the flower petals.

Limenitis arthemis, the red-spotted purple or white admiral, is a North American butterfly species in the cosmopolitan genus Limenitis. It has been studied for its evolution of mimicry, and for the several stable hybrid wing patterns within this nominal species; it is one of the most dramatic examples of hybridization between non-mimetic and mimetic populations.
