Heliconius hecale is perched on leaf

Heliconians live far longer than most butterflies because of their ability to externally ingest pollen on their proboscis. Instead of two or three weeks, they can live up to 9 months!

The Tiger Longwing, Hecale Longwing, Golden Longwing, or Golden Heliconian (Heliconius hecale) is a Heliconiid butterfly that occurs from Mexico to the Peruvian Amazon.
