  29. Goodness, another Zebra Swallowtail. That is a great coincidence--or not since it is Z today. But since you took it a few years ago, have you seen many recently? I wonder, as Nina says they are becoming rare because of loss of habitat in her area.

    The Zebra Swallowtail is a different species from the Zebra butterfly that I have posted. The Zebra butterfly I have shown belongs to the Heliconian group and is usually only found in Florida and Texas. My photo was taken in Florida.
