Longwing Butterfly

. L B O U N T G T W E I R N F G L Y my . Antenna . Smell . I was created . With big EYES!! And long . Beautiful scaly wings * Narrow * Jet black on top * My slender wings have pretty decorative patterns. I love my big eyes; I can see everywhere at one time. Caution is my main motto. So, when I see you, I fly away…alive! I lay my eggs on passion vines. And I watch my baby butterflies and caterpillars …crawl and feast. They are so cute with their six rows of black spines. Foraging for food is one of my favorite pastimes. I gather pollen on my feet and fly flower to flowers every time I eat. That makes more passion vines for me and my family. Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! At the end of the day, at dusk, we gather, hovering. AND… We roost together for the night. We are a butterfly family.
