First, just a welcome to six new countries viewing our blog: Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, and Zambia. That brings the total to 107 countries around the world. It is nice to know that no matter what other differences we have (political, religious, etc.) we have one thing in common, and that is a love of wildlife.
Today, we move on to the Doris Longwing. This is a beautiful butterfly from Central America down through the Amazon. It feeds on nectar from Lantana -- a plant we have which survives well in hot climates. But, the plant's range is wider than the butterfly's. Too bad, I would love to see one here. This particular photo was taken at the Tucson Botanical Garden during their Butterfly (Greehouse) show.
