I'm fine...

an injured/ maimed Lemon Pansy butterfly (Junonia lemonias) that looks 'imperfect' to most eyes.
guess it doesn't mind the asymmetry or missing bits...

I don't mind the missing bits one bit. Nice sharp image with that 300mm lens eh?

Am seeing such (maimed/born different) butterflies now and then.... fluttering around like the other 'regular' ones.
Yes; was surprised when I checked the exif data (did not remember which lens was on that day)
