Zebra Wing butterfly(Heliconius charitonius)
Spice bush Swallow Tail (Papilio troilus)
Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
The Monarch was a recent hatchling that narrowly escaped being chopped when I was trimming a bush. You can see the chrysalis just to the left in the top two photographs, and it was wonderful to sit and watch as he dried his wings. I was able to figure out his sex because of the obvious scent spots on the inside of his wings (third image).
