Beautiful! That Angelwing is a little beat up, though, isn't it? I was explaining to folks at the museum this weekend how butterflies can lose a pretty significant chunk of their wing(s) and still fly. I still feel guilty when I accidentally knock a tail off a Swallowtail (it doesn't happen often, folks). I know they'll be fine, but still...it's like I've wrecked one of God's creatures and I always feel bad about it.
