Abstract:

"In Cundinamarca, Colombia, wildlife photographer HANNAH OWENS captured a photograph showing a younger Euryglottis caterpillar (L3) perched on a gnawed plant identifiable as Tournefortia (Boraginaceae). Photographs taken by OSCAR NAVARRO and MANUEL ALEJANDRO show caterpillars feeding on Duranta (Verbenaceae). In this article, all known records of caterpillar of this species are listed and discussed."
