Papilio larva, June 2014
This larva, most likely Parides sesostris tarquinius, was found June 22, 2014 on a Piper catkin, preparing to pupate. The larva subsequently died, and a single parasitic fly maggot emerged and formed a small brown puparium.
These are butterflies in the family Hesperiidae that I have recorded on Isla Colon. Each specimen includes collecting data and observations I have made over years of visits to the island.
