Larva adulta de Agraulis vanillae (Nombre común del adulto | espejitos, mariposa de espejos, nacarada, antorcha de plata) Alimentándose sobre plantad huésped, Una característica importante de las mariposas espejitos es que dependen de las enredaderas llamadas «pasionarias» (maracuyá) para la alimentación de sus orugas. En esta región están muy ligadas al mburucuyá (Passiflora caerulea)
La oruga puede llegar a medir 4 cm. Es de color naranja brillante con hileras de espinas negras.
