Zebra longwing in lantana - a photo on Flickriver

Zebra longwing in lantana

            Zebra's may be my favorite butterfly to watch fly - they are magical as they flutter through a butterfly garden.  But they also may be the most difficult butterfly to capture!  They land just for a second and their wings are constantly fluttering.  If you've never seen one and you love butterflies - put these on your bucket list.  They are native to Georgia but farther south.  A few are released at our nature center every July and they live wild & free for months - one of our longest-lived butterflies.  But they overwinter as adults and can't survive here.
