General Note
The butterfly is a Zebra Longwing. The scientific name is the Heliconius charitonius tuckeri.
The 1996 legislature, through House Bill 959, now section 15.0382, Florida Statutes, designated the Zebra Longwing as the official state butterfly.
Flamingo Gardens is a 60 acre not-for-profit attraction with a wildlife sanctuary, aviary, and botanical garden. The Gardens were originally the property of Floyd L. and Jane Wray, who in 1933 built a home and citrus grove on what was then the edge of the Everglades, where they started a botanical collection of tropical and subtropical fruit trees and shrubs.
