Heliconius pardalinus is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae native to South America.[1]

Description

The yellow eggs are 1.4 mm (0.055 in) long and 0.9 mm (0.035 in) wide. The white caterpillar has black spots.[1] The wingspan of the orange-red wings with brown spots is 90 mm (3.5 in).[2]

Hybrids

Hybridisation of Heliconius pardalinus and Heliconius melpomene resulted in the hybrid speciation of Heliconius elevatus.[3][4]

Etymology

The specific epithet pardalinus means leopard-spotted.[5][6]

Distribution

Heliconius pardalinus occurs in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.[7][2]

Ecology

Herbivory

Heliconius pardalinus feeds on Passiflora.[1]

Habitat

It inhabits riparian forests at an elevation of up to 1,200 m (3,900 ft) above sea level.[1]
