Located in a conservatory. Captive individual. Does not exist outside of this enclosed and protected environment
Mick - Did you photograph this species in the wild or was it in a captive display like Butterfly World? This is not a native Florida species, so if it was in captivity, please remove it from the Butterflies of Florida group, since it's for native species only. Thanks!
