Postman Butterfly ( Explored)
Postman Butterflies (Heliconius melpomene) are tropical butterflies found in Central and South America. They are most common along sunlit forest edges with flowers.Over their large range, they have many geographic subspecies with very different markings.
The Postman Butterfly can be found in open areas, also near waterways such as rivers and streams. Its diet consists mostly of nectar and pollen that it collects and digests, while their much pickier caterpillars feed only on the leaves of passionflowers. Adults roost in groups, returning to the same location each night hence the name Postman Butterfly.
