Hello Everyone,

Cheers and Have a Great Day,

Chris Tolga of Indianapolis


Common Name: Golden Helicon
Scientific Name: Heliconius hecale

The Golden Helicon is a member of the Heliconiidae family. They can be found throughout Central and tropical South America. They have a wingspan of 3 1⁄2 to 4 inches (9-10cm) and prefer to live in a tropical environment. Passion vines (Passiflora) are their host plants. By eating the leaves of this plant the butterfly becomes poisonous to birds, not enough to kill them but enough to prevent this butterfly being bothered again.

Happy Easter and Christ is Risen!

Gorgeous photo; professional made!

P.S. Here in Romania, when you meet somebody in Easter’s days is used to say “Christ is Risen!” The other body responses “Indeed He Risen!”
