In 1996 the Florida State legislature passed a bill declaring the Zebra Longwing as Florida’s State Butterfly. This might be a good choice for the designation because nowhere is this species more common than in Florida. It is found throughout the state in somewhat shaded habitats – especially in wetter areas where their favored passionflowers occur. This is a butterfly that prefers habitats with relatively dense foliage in which it can easily move from sunlight to shade. Trees and shrubs are important to it for use as communal roosts. We have had a dozen or more Zebra Longwings roosting each evening in shrubs beneath a live oak and a cabbage palm in our back yard. Roosts including as many as 75 Zebra Longwings have been reported. The general consensus for such communal roosts seems to be the adage “there’s safety in numbers”.
