Zebra Longwing Metamorphasis

DS#1 acquired a Zebra Longwing (Florida's State Butterfly) caterpillar from a local park (with permission), and we placed him in a large tank with some passion flower vine to munch on... within a day or two, he began his "J" formation and formed his chrysalis. About a week later, he emerged, this beautiful butterfly you see above. If you'd like to see more pictures of his whole process, just click on the butterfly picture...

I JUST found the neatest online field guide/animal identification site:

It is so cool! You select which species you are looking for, then select color, habitat, region, etc., and it will pull up (hopefully) what you are looking for!
