I found this pair of Julia Longwings discretely mating on the glass of a display case in the Wings of Fancy Butterfly Exhibit at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. We are finding eggs on the Passion Flower plant in the Exhibit that may be those of the Julias. This species lives longer than many butterflies because they eat pollen as well as sipping on the nectar of plants in the Exhibit.
