[HELICONIUS] Four clusters of 50 Heliconius pupae each, potentially laparus doris found, need help confirming ID

[Ben Bolet]

Over the weekend I had the great fortune of finding a Passiflora granadilla 
littered with what seemed to be Laparus doris eggs, and two females ovipositing 
on one of the only immature leaves left. My id was based on how the pupae were 
all clumped together in 4 groups of about 50 each. 


I put up all the pics and details on my latest blogpost. I would greatly 
appreciate it if anyone could confirm the ids of the eggs and pupaes, as well as 
the three larvae I found on a plant a meter away. May have also been a 
heliconius species. 


There was also an amazing leaf-footed bug (diactor bilineatus) with beautiful 
bright colors that accompanied us during our visit.

Thank you all and have a wonderful week.
