10 Poisonous Butterflies, Part 3.
Zebra Longwing.
This long-lived, long-winged butterfly gets both its long life and its toxin from the pollen it eats and the poison it stores as a caterpillar as it eats the passionflower. Pollen is converted in its body to toxins called cyanogenic glycosides. This not only protects the butterfly but can protect the caterpillar even before it’s born, as the female butterfly redirects her toxins to her reproductive system when pollen levels are low.
The zebra longwing is unmistakable with its long, oval wings adorned with black and white zebra stripes and red dots. Found in the southern United States and south into South America, it has a 2.8 to 3.9-inch wingspan and is the state butterfly of Florida.
