Larva de Heliconius erato

Heliconius es un género de insectos lepidópteros de la familia Nymphalidae. Se distribuye por los trópicos y subtrópicos del Nuevo Mundo.

Muchas especies presentan mimetismo con otras especies del mismo género. Por eso han sido objeto de estudios evolutivos, especialmente estudios de mimetismo batesiano y mülleriano.[1]​
