Greetings Friends,
This is another Julia Butterfly photo that I took at Indianapolis White River Gardens and I hope you like it:)
Have a Nice Day,
Chris Tolga

Dryas julia (syn: Dryas iulia), also known as the Julia butterfly or Julia Heliconian, is a species of butterfly (an insect). The sole representative of its genus, the Julia is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Its wingspan ranges from 82 to 92 mm, and it is colored orange (brighter in male specimens) with black markings.

It feeds on the nectar of flowers including lantana and shepherd's needle, and its caterpillars form hosts in passion vines including Passiflora affinis and Passiflora lutea (the yellow passionvine) in Texas. The Julia is a fast flier and frequents clearings, paths, and margins of forests and woodlands. Over 15 subspecies have been described.

Great background which really compliments the butterflies beauty.
