But the Zebra Longwing is a sucker for some firebush. Planting them was part of my "Let's get all the Zebra Longwings at my house instead of at the neighbor's down the street" plan. She plants a lot of Florida natives but doesn't really keep them tidy so it looks like a bunch of weeds in her front yard. But it was attracting the butterflies. No more! They're all mine!

Look at how deep this guy has his proboscis in there. And the way his legs are clinging to the flower. So cool!
