Imperfect Wings - _TNY_7271

When the wings dried and hardened on this female giant swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes) after crawling out of her chrysalis, she was for some reason unable to get them perfectly flat.

 

They will stay this way, a bit disheveld - but she was still able to fly with them so there's that.
