Found this almost-drowned butterfly in the lake last week; I don’t think our rescue was enough for him/her to survive.
Under a grey sky, I might consider loon calls plangent, but probably not if it’s sunny.
Plangent
A loud, reverberating sound considered melancholy. (From the Latin word for lamenting.)

Ooch, one of my favorite lepidopterans. Or not. But I still don’t like to see creatures die. So, you go, girl.
