Looks like some type of duskywing...that one is really dark...wow!!!


Mellie...or anyone else who has raised Zebra longwings....is this a zebra caterpillar? Or could it be a Julia Longwing caterpillar?

I found a couple of these small instars on a passiflora vine. There are gobs of eggs on the vine was well.

I had a lone Julia Longwing flitting around a couple of weeks ago so not sure if it could be one of those. However, I saw a really beat up Zebra Longwing ovipositing on my boomerang passion flower vines this morning.

I found this link to a Julia caterpillar on the internet...sure looks like this one. What do ya'll think? Oh please let them be Julias!!!
