Description


On my way home from work today, I chanced upon this poor fellow. he apparently collided with an auto and managed to make it to the sidewalk. I much rather prefer to take their photos while in flight or perched on a flower. but I felt he needed some remembrance. may his heaven be filled with necter-filled flowers and willing females.

May he rest in peace. His lifeless body is still beautiful with those awesome brown and white colors. What a sentimental dedication to one of the most fragile insects Mother Nature has to offer.
