False is Better - _TNY_3099
I had some real problems figuring out what species of longwing this was when processing the shots and gave up and just put them down as Heliconius sp.
They have been on the harddrive for a while now, and as I'm ready to post it and started adding tags I decided to have another look.
Boom, 30 seconds later I realised this is a false zebra longwing (Heliconius atthis).
With this being a "false", there of course must be a true one as well, and this one mimics the zebra longwing (Heliconius charithonia) - a species I haven't shot. To be perfectly honest, I think this one is the prettier species though.
