And now...for your science lesson...I present the facts man...
This is the zebra longwing butterfly...which is Florida's state butterfly. It lays its eggs only on passion vine growing in the shade. I love passion vine...and apparently so do butterfllies ;) As you can see here, the caterpillar for this butterfly is a scary looking white spiky thing! Maybe they have the same hair stylist as Stuboy...
