Description
The longwing butterflies, several species of Heliconius, are all brightly patterned in patches and stripes of yellow, red, orange, white, and / or blue on a black background, and have narrow, elongated wings. Their slow, lazy, fluttering flight is designed to show off their bright colors, signaling to predators that they are bad-tasting and should be avoided.
The background texture used on this image is from "The Daily Texture".

Thanks so much Reynold. It's a tropical butterfly taken at the Discovery Gardens in Dallas.
