Heliconius comprises a colorful and widespread genus of brush-footed butterflies commonly known as the longwings or heliconians. This genus is distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the New World, from South America as far north as the southern United States. The larvae of these butterflies eat Passion flower vines (Passifloraceae). Adults exhibit bright wing color patterns to signal their distastefulness to potential predators.
Heliconius butterflies have been the subject of many studies, due partly to their abundance and the relative ease of breeding them under laboratory conditions, but also because of the extensive mimicry that occurs in this group. From the nineteenth century to the present-day, their study has helped scientists to understand how new species are formed and why nature is so diverse.
Because of the type of plant material that Heliconius caterpillars favor and the resulting poisons they store in their tissues, the adult butterflies are usually unpalatable to predators. This warning is announced, to the mutual benefit of both parties, by bright colors and contrasting wing patterns, a phenomenon known as aposematism.

The high-tempo exercise incorporates both day and night missions that give aircrews an opportunity to experience advanced, relevant, and realistic combat-like situations in a controlled environment to increase their ability to complete missions and safely return home.

My wife and I liked Red Flag 21-1 so much we decided to check out 21-2. We knew it was going to be smaller so we only stayed for one full day. What we didn't count one was the nasty weather. Blah grey sky, very windy, and cold for the morning takeoffs. Takeoffs were to the SW so we joined up with a bunch of other spotters to watch the planes leave on Cheyenne Avenue. When the fighters take off on the 21R they bank right above your head so you get a mix of belly and side profiles - but it is a cool experience. Tankers and bombers tend to use 21L so you have a better angle but if there were no clouds you would be shooting into the sun. Despite this we had a good time. After the morning rush headed out we moved to the Speedway area for the recovery. All in all a very good day, even if we were turning blue and felt sandblasted.
I took these photos in early March 2021 near Las Vegas, Nevada.

High above the Vardar River, in the heart of Skopje, rises the impressive Kale Fortress, also known as the Skopje Fortress. Built on a hill overlooking the city, it has always been a strategic stronghold. The first fortifications date back to the 6th century, when the Byzantines constructed a castle here on top of even older Roman foundations. Over the centuries, the complex was expanded and strengthened, especially during the long era of Ottoman rule, when it served not only as a defensive bastion but also as an administrative center. A dramatic chapter in the fortress’s modern history took place in 1963, when a devastating earthquake destroyed much of Skopje and heavily damaged the fortress walls and towers. Since then, several restorations have been carried out to preserve the stronghold and restore strength to its ancient walls. Today, Kale stands as one of the most important symbols of Skopje. It is not only a historical monument but also a beloved gathering place for locals and visitors. Cultural events, concerts, and festivals are regularly held within its walls, keeping the fortress alive and part of the city’s rhythm. Atop the towers, the red flag of North Macedonia with its radiant sun proudly waves in the wind as a sign of national pride. As the morning sun touches the stones, Kanitha walks along the fortress wall – a walk through history, with views of the ancient fort on one side and the modern city on the other. The sturdy stone walls, the distinctive watchtowers, and the surrounding greenery of the city park make Kale Fortress a place where history, culture, and everyday life come together.
Kanitha walks along the ancient wall of Skopje’s Kale Fortress under the morning sun, with the red flag of North Macedonia proudly waving above the watchtower. A peaceful moment where history, nature, and city life meet.
Hoog boven de rivier de Vardar, midden in het hart van Skopje, torent het indrukwekkende Kale-fort uit, ook wel bekend als de Skopje Fortress. Vanaf de heuvel waarop het gebouwd is, heb je een weids uitzicht over de stad, waardoor dit eeuwenoude bolwerk altijd een strategische plek is geweest. De eerste vestingwerken stammen uit de 6e eeuw, toen de Byzantijnen hier een kasteel bouwden op de resten van nog oudere Romeinse fundamenten. Door de eeuwen heen is het complex steeds verder uitgebreid en versterkt, vooral tijdens de lange periode van Ottomaanse overheersing, toen het niet alleen een verdedigingswerk maar ook een bestuurlijk centrum was. Een dramatisch hoofdstuk in de moderne geschiedenis van Kale vond plaats in 1963, toen een zware aardbeving grote delen van Skopje verwoestte en ook de muren en torens van het kasteel zwaar beschadigde. Sindsdien zijn er meerdere restauraties uitgevoerd om de burcht te behouden en de eeuwenoude muren weer hun kracht terug te geven. Tegenwoordig is Kale een van de belangrijkste symbolen van Skopje. Het is niet alleen een historische bezienswaardigheid, maar ook een geliefde ontmoetingsplek voor inwoners en bezoekers. Binnen de muren vinden regelmatig culturele evenementen, concerten en festivals plaats, waardoor het fort een levendige rol in het stadsleven heeft behouden. Op de torens wappert de rode vlag van Noord-Macedonië met de stralende zon fier in de wind, als teken van nationale trots. Terwijl de ochtendzon over de stenen valt, wandelt Kanitha langs de robuuste muur van het kasteel – een wandeling door de geschiedenis, met aan weerszijden een uitzicht op zowel het oude fort als de moderne stad. De robuuste stenen muren, de markante wachttorens en de groene omgeving van het stadspark eromheen maken het Kale-fort tot een plek waar geschiedenis, cultuur en dagelijks leven samenkomen.
