Vindula arsinoe |
Vindula arsinoe, commonly known as the cruiser,[citation needed] is a day butterfly from the family Nymphalidae.
Heliconians are found mostly in the tropical Americas. Most species feed on poisonous Passiflora vines as larvae, and adults broadcast their acquired toxicity with strong warning colors (aposematism).
