I was playing with manual focus so I don’t think this is too sharp but I thought I’d share it with you all anyway ‘cos I find the wings quite pretty.
This was a weird find. One, I don’t often find remains about the place. I guess the garden’s creatures get to them first. Two, I have never seen the living version of this butterfly before! Biz-zah.
I’m calling this Part 1 as I was meant to upload a dead baby bird (quite colourful, if I remember correctly) as a V2 here…but I can’t find the pic! Maybe on the laptop…hmm. I REALLY need to get organised and weed and tidy up my folders. Bah.
Anywho…here you go…butterfly remnants.

How beautiful that it died against a perfectly matching stem...
I have a dead bird shot somewhere on my old hard drive that I cannot locate. Hope you find yours before it starts to smell...

It may have had an encounter with a bird and then died from its injuries or possibly damaged and or deformed when it emerged from the chrysalis
Thanks, all.
Ed, my guess was one of the garden lizards got it. My mum reckoned it had come to the end of its life and was weak and some creature (maybe a bird, come to think of it) got it as a result. I never thought about the deformity aspect, though. Good point. I guess we'll never know 
it has something of a fallen angel. Well spotted.
Annette who uses manual focus 99% of the time.
Such pretty wings suspended amongst the greenery.
