Red Lacewing Butterfly

Tucson Botanical Gardens

"The Red Lacewing is found from India to the Phillipines, and is a member of the Heliconiinae, a
subfamily of the butterfly family Nymphalidae. It’s colloquially named - rather self-evidently - for
the exquisite, ‘lace-like’ patterning on the underwings - which are much easier to see than the vivid
red upperwings that the butterfly only seems willing to show off occasionally!" Reference:
