brush footed butterfly caterpillarsWhat’s this caterpillar?
Hi! I’m glad I found your website. I was out weeding and found several of these caterpillars on morning glory leaves in Miami, FL. I didn’t see any others on your website. What is it? Thanks,
Bill
Hi Bill,
We were just going through some older emails we did not have a chance to open earlier in the week and discovered your photo. We are thrilled to have received your image of a Zebra Longwing Caterpillar, Heliconius charitonius, but we wonder if you have mistaken its typical food plant, the Passion Vine, for a Morning Glory.
