''Heliconius antiochus'', the Antiochus Longwing, is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It was described by Linnaeus in 1767. It is found from Panama to the Amazon region. The habitat consists of riparian forests. Adults have blue-black wings with two transverse white or yellow bands on the distal part of the forewings. They are a Müllerian mimic of ''Heliconius wallacei'', ''Heliconius sara'' and ''Heliconius congener''. The larvae are gregarious and mostly feed on ''Passiflora'' species from the subgenus ''Astrophea''. Full-grown larvae have a yellow body with a black head and reach a length of about 12 mm.〔(TOL )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Heliconius antiochus antiochus'' (Venezuela to Peru) *''Heliconius antiochus aranea'' (Fabricius, 1793) (Venezuela) *''Heliconius antiochus araneides'' Staudinger, 1897 (Venezuela) *''Heliconius antiochus salvinii'' Dewitz, 1877 (Venezuela) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heliconius antiochus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
