At an Angle, Pt. 2 - _TNY_4490

An old gold rim swallowtail (Battus polydamas), also known as the tailless swallowtail, which unfortunately didn't have much time left.

 

Still a beautiful animal, wouldn't you agree?

The ventral side of the wings look quite different and perhaps even prettier: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54811329801/
