A male pipevine swallowtail ive taken in as he cant fly

Found this poor baby in a gas station lot. He was weak when i first found him and has gotten some strength back but still cant fly or even glide. Ill keep him until he is able to fly or passes on, in which case ill pin him and cherish the experience and time he's spent w me :>

Photos taken on my walk: A bee taking refuge, many flowers, and a cute skipper

I wish the walkability in my area was better, theres lots of nature outside of my neighborhood (my normal route), but id have to walk on the road that has a ~70mph speed limit

Plume moths are underrated, their wings are so fascinating

Found this guy sitting on my window outside. They look so simple but their wings are so unique w their feather-like structure and how they fold up

Its been weird for me this time around of being sick. Im simultaneously dreading and feeling fine with eating. I really would prefer not to gain weight and i have been trying to keep my intake limited, but i cant say ive been very successful at doing so (mostly bc i havent felt particularly interested to restrict). Id feel more okay with eating more if i could exercise (nothing extreme, just my normal routine) but i havent been able to since ive been feeling so tired, flu symptoms, and my body has felt achey. Its a weird mix of emotions for me right now, i wish i didnt mind the potential weight gain, bc thats my greatest concern, even if it is just a pound or 2
