@irradiated-cutie​ submitted: Hello!! I bought these beauty’s second hand from a thrift store and I was wondering if you know what the top smaller butterflies 3 are? Thank you!!

Hi! They look like longwing butterflies in the genus Heliconius. The center one looks like a Sara longwing, and the other two look like Doris longwings, which can have either blue, red, or orange markings. Both species are native to Central and South America. :)

When I last visited the Garden I got a sneak preview of Butterflies LIVE!, which is now open. It was amazing to see so many species from around the world in one place, I can't wait to go back and get some more photos. Butterflies LIVE! is an ongoing event at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, so the butterflies will be at the garden from now until October 14.
