Butterfly sighting

Location: my property in the town of Seneca
Wood County

I was having good luck with skipper photos today, at least with the skippers that would cooperate. Today was the day for beat-up butterflies. A Monarch didn't have much left for wings on its right side and the swallowtail didn't have much left for hindwings. An Aphrodite had its forewing pinched together which was slowing it down in flight. This is the latest that I've ever seen a Canadian Tiger Swallowtail.
