Today's forecast
Sunshine with a chance of butterflies :)
In this video, there is one female that just eclosed and the males are all trying to be the lucky one to get to marry her. Zebra longwings and gulf fritillaries often pupate on their host vine. When they do that they look like a dead leaf until they emerge as a beautiful butterfly. This host vine is passiflora bi-flora, they also host on the corky stem, which is another passion vine.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
