HOT Texas Loc: From the Heart of Texas
 
The Hackberry emperor is known for being a quick, mercurial butterfly. It often is found along water sources and lowlands, although it lives in a broad range of habitats. Another notable characteristic is that it rarely is spotted visiting a flower, which is considered unusual for a butterfly.

They are very friendly, they will land on you and walk around with you where ever you go, it's host plant is a Hack berry tree.

They love over ripe fruit, I feed them bananas, Plums, Strawberries just about anything that is over ripe.

I love having them around.

The first picture has a double download, another words click on it twice.

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Johnny
