I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this beautiful butterfly
fluttering around the lantana a couple of days ago. I've never
seen one around here before. it just made my day to see a
zebra in the yard! her stripes are brighter yellow than they look here.

she is the state bird of florida.
she feeds on nectar and pollen, and is
the only butterfly that eats pollen,
which allows her to live several months
longer than other butterflies. she lays her
eggs on passion vine leaves, and her enemies
think she tastes yukky.

Lovely shots of your zebra! They are one of the most common butterflies here but I never tire of them!

Nice shots, interesting butterfly. Don't have them here. Nor the four-footed variety, either.
