The Zebra Heliconian is tropical butterfly that is common from Central Florida to the Keys. It expands its range to the coastal areas of Florida’s Big Bend and establishes populations in these areas that unfortunately cannot withstand any significant frost. Cold winter weather will wipe the northern populations out to be re-established in following seasons by migrating individuals from Central Florida. Populations also exist in Eastern and Southern Texas.
