A Zebra Longwing Butterfly, Heliconius charitonius. The Zebra Longwing is common across the country. They have an exceptional lifespan. Several months is not uncommon as compared to a week or two for most butterflies. Zebras have a range from South America, Central America, Mexico, parts of the lower coastal Southeast and Florida. Not much of a strayer or migrator, Zebras have on rare occasion been spotted in the Midwest. The zebra longwing butterfly caterpillars eat the leaves of passion flowers. The passion flower contains a toxin that gives the zebra longwing an unpleasant taste and makes it poisonous to predators. The butterfly drinks the nectar of a wide range of flowers. When it is disturbed, the zebra longwing butterfly makes a creaking sound by wiggling its body. At night, large groups will roost together on tree limbs. They return to the same roost night after night. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- 2009 BUTTERFLIES CALENDAR / / / / / / Or a T-Shirt to go along with /

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.” Diane Arbus, (1923-1971) A delicate small feathered bloom hidden in the dark reaches of our garden in the early morning fog this morning. A reminder of just how beautiful nature is. Canon 400D – Sigma 70 – 300 Macro hand held.

“The Bhakti path winds in a delicate way. On this path there is no asking and no not asking. The Ego simply disappears the moment you touch him. The joy of looking for him is so immense that you just dive in, and coast around like a fish in the water. If anyone needs a head, the lover leaps up to offer his.” ~ poetry by Kabir Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. Reproduction is strictly prohibited.
