Small Postman Butterfly
This butterfly comes from South America and is quite varied in its colouration, depending on the location. It is up to about 5.5-8 cm (2.2-3.1 in) i wingspan with a jerky unelegance in flight. It is one of the few butterflies that collects and digests pollen, conferring considerable longevity to the adults (several months). Adults roost in groups, returning to the same location each night. Also known as the Red Postman, the Red Passion Flower Butterfly, and the Crimson-patched Longwing.
