It looks like this one has been fighting - it's missing the tip of its left wing.

If you thought 'Birds in Flight' were a challenge, try 'Butterflies in Flight'....

...Their flight paths are the real-life embodiment of Chaos Theory!

...wow...the blues in the last one: better than the best oil painting (actually all of them).

And the coil is evident in the second one.

When I see pictures such as these, I'm reminded of the fact that most blues in birds and butterflies do not arise from blue pigments...but rather from 'physical effects and are called structural colors'.
