Butterfly was observed flying erratically close to the ground with the top corner of the left wing hanging off. It looked like it was having a hard time getting up off the ground. I managed to capture it and gently pulled the hanging portion of the wing off and raised it up on my open hand and it took off climbing so high in the sky I lost sight of it. It looked very determined and I hope I helped him along his way!
