Who am I?

 

 

 

Drinking nectar from the 

Cardinal Flower Lobelia cardinalis

we spy the    

Little Sulphur Butterfly Eurema lisa.

This insect was spotted along the riverbank of the Silver River in Ocala, Florida. 

 

 

Scroll down to spot the Sulphur in this photo...

 

 

Cardinal Red is the color of this lovely flower that blooms in the summer. 

 

But beware, red in nature is a warning...

 

Red things are usually poisonous            (or poison mimics)

 

Don't take a chance with red in nature - assume it is toxic.

 

The Cardinal Flower is one such plant - poisonous if eaten.

Why isn't the Little Sulphur poisoned?

It is eating the nectar, not the plant parts!
