This tattered beauty was in my garden yesterday, nectaring on the geraniums and on the coneflowers.

Nice catch and regardless of the wing damage still appears to carry on. ~V

It is still a beauty despite its tattered wing. And the yellow really contrasts nicely with the pink flower. Beautiful image. V.

Missing a bit, as you point out, but pretty on the geranium.
