Red Cracker Butterfly - Tucson Botanical Gardens by John Absher
Taken in the butterfly exhibit at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, this “primarily blue” butterfly is called a “Red” Cracker. The reason is because the underside of it’s wings are a brick red. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a shot of that underside, but I sure like the black, brown, and blue colors of the upperside.

Its wingspan is 2.2 to 2.4 in (5.6 to 6.1 cm Adults range from Mexico through Panama. G. oto visits common flowers like lantana, but prefers to lay its eggs on plants of the tropical nightshade genus Cestrum The red and purple striped caterpillars feed on these toxic plants and store the alkaloids in their tissues, making them distasteful to predators such as birds. They retain their toxicity in adulthood. The same alkaloids that make them poisonous also are converted into pheromones by the males, which use them to attract females. / Camera: Canon 400D / Lens: Canon Macro 100mm / /
