  • I have no clue what kind of flower or plant this is.  I photographed this flower on the inside of the Butterfly House at the Saint Louis Zoo...I just thought it was beautiful and it touched me the moment I noticed it.  I was just hoping my photographing of this flower would do it justice...I hope you enjoy this beautiful flower as much as I do.  Happy Friday Everyone

  • The longwing butterflies have unusually long lifespans and high fecundity rates, which largely result from their augmented diet. Instead of surviving on food stores from the larval stage or solely sipping flower nectar, adult longwing butterflies are avid pollen eaters. These trait make them eminently suitable for butterfly farming and butterfly gardening. Also, Adult Longwings may live for several months, much longer than most butterflies.<br />
<br />
The longwing butterflies are also known as Heliconians. They are brightly colored butterflies with long forewings. Once placed in their own family, they are now considered closely related to the fritillaries. Larvae of most longwings  feed on passion vines, and this host plant imparts noxious chemicals to the larvae which are carried over to the adult butterflies. This relationship is identical to the monarch butterflies' reliance on its host plant, milkweed, for defense. Predators find these chemicals distasteful and avoid eating the butterflies.
