Wedelian Delight. Zebra Longwing, Heliconius charithonia, and Dryas iulia, Julia Heliconian, on Creeping Ox-eye, Wedelia trilobata, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Lots of Butterflies aflutter in their Glass House at the Hortus Botanicus today. All was bright even though the Sun was very low above the trees. Here are two Heliconians enjoying the sweetness of Wedelia trilobata, Creeping Ox-eye. Just look at their angling tongues.
The Orange Longwing is Dryas iulia (see my earlier: www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/5455277749/in/photolis...): our Zebra is Heliconius charithonia (see www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/8475853103/in/photolis...)
