About this Species

The Julia or Flame is an extremely rapid flyer. Its bright orange wings are famously narrow and elongated. In the wild, they are often seen drinking the tears of turtles and caimans to gain essential minerals.

Habitat

Widespread across the tropical Americas, frequently found near water and sun-exposed clearings.

Sustainability First

At Kukusa, we only deal with specimens from sustainable butterfly farms in Peru. Each purchase supports local conservation efforts and rural livelihoods.
