Julia Longwing

One thing about doing my "5" Star Photos alphabetically is that you jump around from animals to birds, to plants to .............  now butterflies. This gorgeous butterfly, Julia Longwing, is found as far south as Brazil, but also common up through Texas and Florida. It is also called the Julia, The Flame, or Flambeau. It loves lantana which thrives throughout the southwest. As with many butterflies, it is a real treat for the photographer:
