With its striking black-and-yellow stripes, the Zebra Longwing (Heliconius charithonia) glides gracefully through tropical and subtropical forests, often found fluttering among passionflower vines. These butterflies love warm, humid habitats like woodlands, gardens, and hammocks, especially in Florida and the southern U.S. #butterfly #zebralongwing #omsystem

#Passionflower #vines are hosts to many species of #insect. #Bees harvest nectar and pollen, with the Zebra Longwing #Butterfly lays its eggs on the plant so its #caterpillars can feed on the plant’s leaves.
In this #photograph, it’s possible to see a bee on the flower and a caterpillar in the background.
