[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photographed in the butterfly house.
Heliconius comprise a colorful and widespread brush-footed butterfly genus distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the New World. These butterflies utilize Passion flower plants as their larval food source and rely on bright wing color patterns to signal their distasteful to potential predators (aposematism). Heliconius butterflies have been a subject of many studies due to their abundance and relative ease in breeding under laboratory conditions, as well as due to the extensive mimicry that occurs in this group. Studying this model group is helping scientists to understand how species are formed and why they are so diverse. They are usually unpalatable and are models for Müllerian mimicry by unrelated butterflies. Hybrid speciation has been found to occur in this genus.

Hallo Siegfried,

Great macro capture of the lovely butterfly with superb show of its nice textures! The colors are perfectly shown, taken with great sharpness and from a nice POV.
The blurry BG is great, giving wonderful contrast to the subject. The flower adds charm to this exceptionally well done work.

Schönes Wochenende!

Viele Grüße,
Paras
