Track-kill


Believe it or not this butterfly was hit by a train! On my lunchtime walk today I had to pass under a railway bridge, I did so just as the fast train from Gatwick was passing over. This little critter fluttered down as I was walking past. Such vivid colours, such distinct shapes, an amazing evolutionary adaptation to scare and avoid predators , just beautiful.
