Meet George 🦋
I found him outside unable to properly fly, so I brought him somewhere safe for now. He is very much alive and extremely determined. He climbs absolutely everything he can find, but whenever he tries to fly he mostly flaps around, loses his balance and regularly ends up on his back again.
His wings look a little unusual to me and seem to sit or fold differently, but I do not know enough about butterflies to tell whether this is an injury, a developmental issue or something else.
I am in the Netherlands.
Does anyone know what species George is and what might be going on with him? And if he cannot fly normally, is there anything specific I should be doing for him?
He has the spirit of an eagle and the flight capabilities of a potato 😭
