Woah, I was actually thinking of posting photos of butterflies with broken wings myself for this week's Photo Hunt but didn't in the end. Re the butterflies: find it amazing that they can still fly even after having what looks like major injuries. A testament to their stamina and fortitude to my mind!
a lady bus commuter has an imitation gold necklace snatched; the thief returns again to berate and attack her on her face: how dare she cheat a thief !
So does a butterfly, with false eyes on dorsal wings, designed to divert the goonda insects attention from the main body, suffer a later retribution on the imitation eyes.
A torn wing and a scratched neck and face. The butterfly and the lady learn to flutter, utter something, and get on with the business of flitting and living in a sometimes cruel world.
Says so much-

ReplyDeleteI've seen butterflies with wings like this - they look half eaten off - maybe by a bug? Kinda sad!

I wonder what happened to its wing Deepak? It's still a beautiful creature, I love the way your background is so softly blurred.
