Description
The zebra longwing butterfly (Heliconius charithonia) is the state butterfly of Florida, where this one was found. It's sipping sweetness here from a bright red flower and is shown against a soft background of greenery. The species is found across Central and South America and north to Texas and the peninsula of Florida. They feed on pollen as well as nectar, and it's the pollen that makes them toxic to predators.
