Julia Butterfly

Julia Butterfly
The Julia butterfly is a tropical brushfoot butterfly that is a member of the Heliconiinae, or logwing, subfamily. They can be found from the southern United States, particularly south Texas and Florida, down through Mexico and Central America and into Brazil. On some years, depending on the weather, they will invade northward up as far as the Central United States. Their larval host plants are passion vines.
