Cydno Longwing
Cydno Longwing (Heliconius cydno) is a butterfly species ranging from southern Mexico to western Ecuador, with a number of closely-related entities that have been described as separate species but may be differentiated geographical races or the results of introgressive hybridization.
Like many species of Heliconius, Cydno Longwing exhibits discrete geographical variation in its wing coloration, with relatively narrow zones of hybridization between adjacent geographical races.
The Cydno is found in the tropical rainforests between sea level and 1800 m.
This picture is taken in the butterfly house "Vlindervallei" (Butterfly Valley) in the "Orchideeënhoeve"
(Orchid Farm) in Luttelgeest, the Netherlands.
De blauwe passiebloemvlinder (Heliconius cydno) is een vlindersoort, die voorkomt van het zuiden van Mexico tot in West-Ecuador en Colombia.
Er zijn acht geografische variaties in vleugelkleuren en ook enkele regionale ondersoorten, die soms ook als aparte soorten worden beschreven. De vleugelspanwijdte is circa 9 cm.
De vlinder wordt gevonden in de tropische regenwouden tussen zeeniveau en 1800 m.
Deze vlinder is gefotografeerd in de Vlindervallei van de Orchideeënhoeve in Luttelgeest (Flevoland, Noordoostpolder).
