Juno Longwing

Dione juno huascuma

Description:

The Juno Silverspot, Juno Longwing, or Juno Heliconian (Dione juno) is a species of butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae found from southern USA to South America. The male is usually encountered singly imbibing moisture from puddles or ditches. Females tend to be seen mainly when nectaring at Lantana and other shrubs.

Habitat:

This species, like others in the genus, is migratory in behaviour, so can be found in many habitats, and at any altitude up to 2000 metres, but is commonest in disturbed forest between 200-800m. It is usually encountered in sunny areas by riverbanks, rocky slopes or roadsides.
