Longwing butterfly

Heliconius spp.

Notes:

One of many butterflies which habitat is the Parise adventure aviary at Butterfly world, Florida. When entering it feels like walking into a space where everything floats.U don't have enough eyes to watch each of these fascinated creatures. Each one of them have their unique colors and shapes. A must see and sure a thrill to capture.

Butterfly World seems to fly a number of Heliconius species that are similar. I couldn't choose one out of the list so this is the best I can offer. Great spotting!
