Red and Black Butterfly

Description

I visited the Wings of Paradise Butterfly Conservatory yesterday with Joe and a friend.

This is one of the thousands of free-flying butterflies. Further information from :iconfezzgator: tells me that this is a Heliconius doris.


Unfortunately the conservatory does not have an identification guide to the butterflies.

I love visiting those places. I have visited 3 different.
One was so hot that the butterflies were coming on your arms and face to drink droplets of perspiration.
That's strange that the place you visited have no guide -even basic - for you to identify the butterflies.
The most spectacular I have seen was a night butterfly
( wearing a fantastic velvety evening dress with stunning patterns ) that was two hands large. The antennas, as usally wiith night butterflies, where also very special.
