Thanks so much!!! I have been praying to photograph a Zebra Longwing all summer long. This happens to be one of my favorite butterflies.
Awesome photo! I saw one outside my window today but wasn't fast enough to snap a photo!! Thank you for posting to Florida's Flora & Fauna as this is the official butterfly for the State of Florida!! Great spotting!
