Not really the best shot of these two butterflies, but this is the first photo I've taken with two butterflies on a leaf : )
"The Banded Orange Heliconian (Dryadula phaetusa) is the sole representative of its genus, the Banded Orange Heliconian is native from Brazil to central Mexico, and in summer it can be found rarely as far north as central Kansas. Its wingspan ranges from 86 to 89 mm, and it is colored a bright orange with thick black stripes in males, and a duller orange with fuzzier black stripes in females ....It feeds primarily on the nectar of flowers and bird droppings, and its caterpillar feeds on passion vines including Passiflora tetrastylis. It is generally found in lowland tropical fields and valleys." From Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryadula_phaetusa.
For local Calgary Flickr members, I don't know if you have already heard that the very strong winds we have been having the last few days has completely destroyed the Bald Eagle nest down in Fish Creek Park (near the intersection of Canyon Meadows Drive and Acadia Drive. Apparently, someone discovered an eaglet on the ground, dead, which is so very sad. I haven't heard whether the other two (?) Eagle nests within the city have survived. I do hope all the little owlets have managed to stay safe.
