On a recent trip to the Florida Keys, we flew into Ft. Lauderdale. Walking through the airport, the floor had a mosaic pattern which included many mosiac Zebra Longwings, the Florida state butterfly. This immediately caught my eye! The Zebras are beautiful, slow flyers, native to the southern states. When released, they have a graceful flight. They also live longer than most other butterflies. They nectar mostly on the pollen of flowers. The females lay their eggs on the tips of Passionvine. If I lived further south, I'd raise as many of them as I could.
