Saw this male eastern black swallowtail butterfly in the grass at Lake Seminole Park a week ago. He looks pretty beat up (look at left wing). It was flying some but spent a lot of time in the grass.

Pretty good work on exposure here and good DOF, the butterfly does look a little bit abused here but I have seen these flying with over half of each wing missing. These are a very tough butterfly to shoot as they do not land often and they do not stay still long.
