Julia Heliconian Caterpillar
Dryas iulia (larva)
Julia Heliconian caterpillars live on passionflower vines in tropical and subtropical woodland edges, gardens, and sunny clearings. They steadily chew passionflower leaves and may rest along stems or leaf undersides between feeding bouts. Their dark, spiny-looking bodies and diet-derived plant chemicals help make them unpalatable to many predators.
