The Sara longwing (Heliconius sara) is a species of butterfly found from Mexico to the Amazon Basin and southern Brazil. It is a colorful species: the dorsal wing surface is black with a large medial patch of metallic blue that is framed by two bands of white on the fore wings. The ventral wing surface is a dull brown to black with muted bands and small red spots on the proximal margin. Females seek the new growth of passion flower vines on that to lay their small yellow eggs, in clusters of 10 to 50. From Wikipedia

I photographed this beautiful Sara longwing butterfly perched on a brilliant purple spiral plant at "The Butterfly Place", an indoor butterfly garden located in Westford, Massachusetts late in September. If you love butterflies like I do than you will have to visit this special indoor garden when you are in the New England area. Although smaller than "Magic Wings" it is still a beautiful indoor garden featuring butterflies from North, Central, South America and Asia.
