Author's comments:
Como siempre en las luces de las vidrieras. Dice la bibliografía que suelen ser tóxicos porque acumulan alcaloides de Eupatorium, eso los protege de las arañas que los sueltan de sus telas si perciben su toxicidad. El macho puede "darle" esos tóxicos a la hembra para que los huevos y ella tengan protección.
