| This is an aberrant specimen
of the Heliconid Eueides isabella. It appeared
within our breeding stock in early 2002 and up to now
it has maintained itself. Approximately 1 in every 4
butterflies of this species are now of this form. As
far as we know this form has not yet been observed in
the wild. Neither do we know of a subspecies that is
similar. |

This specimen of Heliconius
hecale zuleika has the coloration
of a typical "zuleika" but the pattern of
H. h. fornarina. Known as forma café. We have
seen this form in the wild but there it is rare. In
our breeding stock it is common. |
