Field Notes

Description:

The Juno Silverspot, Juno Longwing, or Juno Heliconian (Dione juno) is a species of butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae found from southern USA to South America

There were several of these butterflies flying around. I think I caught the same one here! They seemed to be feeding on lime flowers.
