Red Colored Butterflies

RED LACEWING

The Nymphalidae family includes the red lacewing as one of its heliconiine butterfly species. This species' range extends from the Indian subcontinent eastward to Southeast Asia and East Asia, with Indonesia marking its southern and the Philippines' eastern boundary.

RED-STRIPED LEAFWING

The Nymphalidae family includes the Red-striped Leafing butterfly, often called the Scarlet Leafwing. It is found from southern Brazil to Mexico.

SCARLET PEACOCK

The brown or scarlet peacock species, the nymphalid butterfly species, is mainly found in South America. The banded peacock, or Anartia fatima, found chiefly north of the range of Anartia amathea, is highly similar to this butterfly.

COMMON POSTMAN

Mexico and Central America are home to the vibrantly colored postman butterfly, sometimes known as the familiar postman or just postman. Carl Linnaeus originally defined it in his 10th edition of Systema Naturae, published in 1758. One of the earliest species of butterflies to be seen foraging for pollen was this one; this activity is uncommon in butterflies but typical in other groups.

DORIS LONGWING

The only member (i.e., monotypic) of the Laparus genus and a member of the Nymphalidae family of butterflies is the Doris longwing, also known as Doris. It can be found from the Amazon to Central America. Even at the sub-species level, there is significant variety in color and pattern.

ANNA'S EIGHTY-EIGHT

The Anna's eighty-eight butterfly is found in Middle American moist tropical woods. The species' common name comes from the white underside of the hindwings, which have lines that resemble a black-outlined "88." The underside of the forewings is red, followed by a broad, black band and finally, white tips.
