Heliconius melpomene Gallery

This gallery shows many variations that are found in the Longwing butterfly group. It is difficult to locate the scientific name
of many since there is some interbreeding occuring in the wild and with suppliers of the butterfly exhibits industry.
This leads to some striking color pattern variations and any common names can vary from region to region.

Butterflies I have not yet been able to identify will be placed in this galllery until a name can be found.
When three or more of the same butterfly are listed they will be given their own gallery.

I welcome any information as to the scientific or common name of any shown here.
