Dryas iulia, zuweilen auch als Fackel oder Julia bezeichnet, ist ein Schmetterling (Tagfalter) aus der Familie der Edelfalter (Nymphalidae). Im englischen Sprachgebrauch wird die Art u. a. als Julia Butterfly, The Flame oder Orange Long Wing bezeichnet.
Die Flügelspannweite der Falter beträgt 82 bis 92 Millimeter.[1] Die Vorderflügel sind lang und schmal und haben eine leuchtend orange Farbe, die bei den Weibchen etwas blasser und dunkler ausfällt. Der Apex ist schwarz. Zuweilen quert ein schwarzer Streifen den Vorderflügel. Dieser Streifen kann auch nur teilweise vorhanden sein oder gänzlich fehlen. Die Hinterflügel sind ebenfalls orange gefärbt und im Verhältnis zu den Vorderflügeln deutlich kleiner. Der schwärzliche Flügelrand ist leicht gewellt. Die Flügelunterseiten sind hellbraun bis blass orange gefärbt und mit einigen schwach ausgebildeten dunkleren Flecken versehen.
Das Ei ist zunächst zitronengelb und nimmt später eine orange oder bräunlich gesprenkelte Farbe an. Die Eier werden einzeln an Blättern abgelegt.[2]
Ausgewachsene Raupen haben eine grau rosa bis schwärzliche Grundfarbe, von der sich einige helle Flecke und ein unterbrochener weißlicher Seitenstreifen abheben. Sie sind auf der gesamten Körperlänge mit langen, stark verzweigten, dunklen Dornen bestückt. Diese rufen nach einer Berührung beim Menschen Hautreizungen hervor.[2]
Die Puppe ist graubraun gefärbt und mit kleinen silbrig glänzenden Flecken auf dem Sattel versehen.[3] Sie ist als Stürzpuppe ausgebildet und ahmt ein vertrocknetes Blatt nach (Mimese).
Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Art erstreckt sich von den US-Bundesstaaten Texas und Florida weiter südlich über Mittelamerika bis nach Bolivien und den Norden Brasiliens. Sie kommt insbesondere auch auf vielen Inseln der Karibik vor, u. a. auf Kuba, den Bahamas, Dominica, St. Lucia und Martinique. Dryas iulia besiedelt bevorzugt tropische und subtropische Wälder.[2]
Die Falter fliegen in fortlaufenden Generationen. Sie saugen gerne an Blüten oder feuchten Stellen am Boden. Die Raupen leben einzeln und ernähren sich von den Blättern verschiedener Passionsblumengewächse (Passifloraceae), insbesondere von Passiflora lutea var. glabriflora.[2]

Dryas iulia (often incorrectly spelled julia),[1] commonly called the Julia butterfly, Julia heliconian, the flame, or flambeau, is a species of brush-footed (or nymphalid) butterfly. The sole representative of its genus Dryas,[2] it is native from Brazil to southern Texas and Florida, and in summer can sometimes be found as far north as eastern Nebraska. Over 15 subspecies have been described.
Its wingspan ranges from 82 to 92 mm, and it is colored orange (brighter in male specimens) with black markings; this species is somewhat unpalatable to birds and belongs to the "orange" Mullerian mimicry complex.[3]
This butterfly is a fast flier and frequents clearings, paths, and margins of forests and woodlands. It feeds on the nectar of flowers, such as lantanas (Lantana) and shepherd's-needle (Scandix pecten-veneris), and the tears of caiman, the eye of which the butterfly irritates to produce tears.[4] Its caterpillar feeds on leaves of passion vines, including Passiflora affinis and yellow passionflower (P. lutea) in Texas.
Its mating behavior is complex and involves a prolonged courtship whose outcome appears to be controlled by the female. This raises questions pertaining to the occurrence of the evolution of sexual conflict.[5]
The species is popular in butterfly houses because it is long-lived and active throughout the day. However, the caterpillars are spiky and may cause a skin rash.[6]
D. iulia is characterized by elongated orange wings with black wing markings that vary by subspecies. Black markings are mainly located near the wing tips. Male Julia butterflies can be identified by their brighter orange color, compared to the duller orange exhibited by females .[6] Images of many Julia butterfly subspecies can be found at the bottom of the page.
D. iulia is common in the tropical and subtropical areas of North, Central, and South America. In South America, throughout countries like Brazil, Ecuador, and Bolivia, the Julia butterfly is commonly distributed. The butterfly is also widespread throughout a number of the Caribbean islands, with endemic subspecies located in Cuba, Dominica, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico, among others. Moving further north, the species can be commonly witnessed in Central America up into Texas and Florida (and can occasionally be found to move into the Nebraska area during the summer).[6] The geographic distribution of D. iulia overlaps with the ranges of other butterflies which sometimes leads to conflict. For example, the ranges of D. iulia and the gulf fritillary overlap; in some cases, gulf fritillaries can sometimes be subjected to competition and fighting from Dryas iulia moderata when the two species have breeding populations in similar areas and within the same geographic range.[7]
D. iulia prefer open, sunny breaks in the subtropical and tropical forests it inhabits. The butterfly is also common in open areas such as gardens, cattle grazing lands, and forest clearings, due to human impact.[8] D. iulia can be found on a few main hostplants (or shrubs in Latin America) including the passion vine of the family Passifloraceae.[6]
D. iulia flights take place throughout the year in southern Florida and southern Texas, but especially during the fall. The butterfly in its U.S. range has been seen to occasionally migrate as far north as Nebraska. However, south of its United States range, the Julia butterfly generally does not migrate. The butterfly's flight pattern can be fast or slow, and is usually seen around the middle story of their forest habitat.[6]
D. iulia larvae feed on Passiflora plants almost exclusively, specifically those of subgenuses Astrophea (also known as Passiflora), Polyanthea, Tryphostemmatoides, and Plectostemma.[6]
As adults, male and females feed differently based on their reproductive needs. As mentioned further down, males engage in mud-puddling behavior in order to gain valuable minerals for their spermatophores. They have also been seen to agitate the eyes of caimans and turtles in order to produce tears that the butterflies can drink.[9] [10] Observations of this from points 1500 km apart, were probably the first time scientific observations were coordinated via films broadcast on terrestrial television.
Females, meanwhile, besides visiting certain flower species for their nectar – like Lantana and Eupatorium (as both male and female D. iulia butterflies do) – also use pollen from flowers to gain nutrients needed for egg production.[11]
Passiflora vines and D. iulia (among other Heliconian butterflies) have shown strong evidence of coevolution, as the butterflies attempt to gain better survival for their laid eggs and the plants attempt to stop their destruction from larval feeding. Many members of the genus Passiflora have evolved to produce very tough, thick leaves that are hard to break down by the caterpillars. Some Passiflora vines have gone further by producing small leaves that look like a perfect place for the butterflies to lay eggs, but break off at the stem within a few days, carrying the D. iulia eggs with them. Other Passiflora vines actually mimic eggs of the butterfly species that use it as a hostplant, so that a passing butterfly thinks the plant already has eggs on it and consequently does not oviposit. The butterflies have thus evolved to be more discerning in their egg placement, and better able to detect strategies used by their host plant, the Passiflora[12]
Mud-puddling is a peculiar social behavior engaged in by a number of butterfly species, including D. iulia. It involves male butterflies crowding around damp ground in order to drink dissolved minerals through a process of water filtration. During copulation, the male butterfly uses minerals in his spermatophore, which must be replenished before the following mating. When a male finds a suitable spot for the behavior, other males can quickly join and hundreds of butterflies may become attracted to the site. Multiple species may join the group, but the butterflies do not evenly distribute between species. Instead, D. iulia and others usually remain near members of their own species.[13]
D. iulia butterflies are part of the “orange” Mullerian mimicry complex, one of the similar Heliconian species that employ this protective tactic. Passifloracae, the primary food source of D. iulia caterpillars, contains trace amounts of cyanide. This has led to the development of cyanogenic glycosides that make the butterfly unpalatable to its predators, which come from a mixture of storage from their hostplant and larval synthesis. The mimicry in D. iulia involves other butterfly species having evolved to look similar to the Julia butterfly in order to convey their presumed unpalatability.[14]
Julia butterfly eggs tend to be a light yellow color when laid, which turns to a darker orange or brown shade before hatching. Each of the butterfly's eggs are separately laid onto new leaf tendrils of its host plant, usually the passionflower vine.[6]
The egg of the butterfly measures about 1.2 mm in height and 1.0 mm in diameter. They have approximately 20 vertical ridges and 13 horizontal ridges.[8]
D. iulia caterpillars eat slots into the leaves of their hostplant once they emerge from their egg. However, they do not have nests in their hostplants. They instead use the remaining part of the leaf as a protected area to rest on.
The caterpillars of the Julia butterfly have pink, gray, and black coloration throughout their body with maroon and cream patches. Long, branched, black spines also cover their entire body. A cream-colored, inverted Y-shaped mark can be seen on the front of the caterpillar's head.
Larvae emit noxious chemicals in their larval stage because of the trace cyanide in their hostplant. This makes the larvae unpalatable to certain bird species, especially tanagers.[6]
D. iulia have five larval stages, and at the fifth the larva becomes a pupa. The pupa of the Julia butterfly is grayish white in color, and somewhat resembles a dead leaf.[6]
After emerging from their chrysalis, the male Julia butterfly spends the majority of its time looking for mates. At night, the butterfly roosts close to the ground, either in a small group or alone. D. iulia’s adult lifespan lasts for less than a month.[6]
Courtship behavior in D. iulia involves a very specific sequence of steps that can be categorized into three sequential phases: an aerial phase, an air-ground phase, and a ground phase.[5] The observed courtship steps are outlined in detail below:
First, the male D. iulia approaches the female from behind. Then, the female takes flight, with the male flying in front of and above the female. This position is taken by the male so that the female can smell the male's scent scales and become sexually stimulated. Next, the female attempts to fly higher than the male, which can be seen as an anti-copulatory behavior, before landing. After that, the male D. iulia continues to beat his wings above and in front of the female, while both face the same direction. The female butterfly then opens and vibrates her hind wings and front wings. Her hind wings are fully opened while her forewings are only partially so. At the same time, the female emits scent glands from her raised abdomen. The male then beats his wings behind and then in front of the female once again. If the female is satisfied by the courtship, she lowers her abdomen and shuts her wings in preparation for mating.[6]
Mating can occur within two weeks of the Julia butterfly's exit from the chrysalis. As adults, male D. iulia spend the majority of their time searching for females to mate with. Females of this butterfly species can mate four times in their lifetime, which is unusual for female Heliconius butterflies who generally mate just once.[6]
Many mating behaviors in D. iulia are sex-specific, and can include receptive and non-receptive behaviors by the females of the species. Some female behaviors regarded as showing non-receptiveness include abdomen raising and overflight, in which the female attempts to fly higher than the male during the aerial phase of courtship. On the other hand, a female behavior such as shutting her wings has been found to be a key receptive behavior. For males, persistence did not seem to be a key driver of success, as behaviors performed by persistent males such as hovering over the female did not often lead to copulation.[5]
The inability of persistent males – meaning, those that carried on extended courtship behavior – to increase copulation has led to researchers theorizing female copulation acceptance as the primary determinant of successful copulation in D. iulia. For example, the only male behavioral acts found to be indicative of successful copulation occurred in response to signals of female receptiveness.[5]
Julia butterfly copulation is always terminated by the males after the ground phase. The female remains at the mating site as the male flies away. This raises the idea of an evolutionary basis for this behavior based on a conflict of interests between males and females of the species. This conflict arises because of a difference in reproductive interests between the male and the female that has its beginnings in anisogamy. Sexual selection studies favor forms of sexual conflict such as this one to be one of the major sources of speciation in certain insects.[5]
The methods of mate selection (by which a female accepts or denies a male suitor) are not completely understood. Some studies have reported the sexual dimorphism (of color and body size) of the butterfly as a key factor that may suggest an evolutionary basis towards understanding sexual selection.[8] D. iulia male butterflies have been seen to chase females of butterfly species with similar visual cues, which has led researchers to believe that these visual recognition strategies form the basis of sexual partner selection in this species. However, more research is needed to identify how different aspects of D. iulia’s physical features factor into mate selection.[5]
When D. iulia are caterpillars, they can cause a skin rash on humans if touched. This is likely from the yellow liquid that is produced from the tips of the long, black spines that cover its body, which is emitted as a predator deterrent related to their cyanogenic glycosides[6]
D. iulia are commonly admired for their coloration. As a diurnal species of butterfly that is quite active during the day, Julia butterfly are often found in butterfly houses. One butterfly house in Phuket, Thailand, obtained Julia butterflies, specifically Dryas iulia moderata from an exporter butterfly farm in Costa Rica and released them during Buddhist ceremonies and weddings. The released butterflies have now colonized areas of Thailand and Malaysia and established a wild population. D. iulia are now too widespread in the region to eradicate.[15] They feed on invasive Passiflora species around its invasive range, usually Passiflora suberosa and sometimes Passiflora foetida.

Foi classificada por Johan Christian Fabricius, com a denominação de Papilio iulia, em 1775.[1]
Indivíduos desta espécie possuem as asas longas e estreitas, com pouco mais de 80 milímetros de envergadura[4], e são de coloração laranja[6] ou amarelo escuro[7], vistos dorsalmente (por cima), com uma faixa amarronzada, mais ou menos pronunciada[8], cruzando a parte superior das asas anteriores e outra bem menor, formando um triângulo agudo, logo acima.[6] Apresentam leve dimorfismo sexual, com as fêmeas menores e mais escuras que os machos.[9][10] Vistos ventralmente (por baixo), apresentam padrão de folha seca, com ou sem manchas.[11]
Uma das características de D. iulia é a sua envergadura.
Borboletas Dryas iulia geralmente são vistas voando em trilhas de florestas úmidas e decíduas, mas são comumente encontradas em áreas abertas e antrópicas, como clareiras florestais, pastagens, ao longo das margens dos rios e em jardins floridos. Se alimentam, muitas vezes coletivamente, de substâncias mineralizadas retiradas de pedras, do solo[12], de frutos[13], de animais, como jacarés ou crocodilos, e de substâncias retiradas de flores como a Lantana camara.[2][14]
Com frequência, indivíduos de D. iulia podem ser vistos sobre animais como tartarugas, crocodilos e jacarés.

Os ovos de Dryas iulia são colocados em plantas do gênero Passiflora (Maracujá) e são de coloração amarela a laranja-opaca. As suas larvas ou lagartas passam por cinco estágios.[5] Dryas iulia apresenta um dos padrões de coloração mais complexos e variáveis dentre as larvas de primeiro instar em Heliconiinae (BEEBE et al., 1960). A cápsula cefálica é marrom-amarelada, restante do corpo um pouco mais claro. Conteúdo intestinal, visível por transparência após a alimentação, gerando uma faixa marrom-esverdeada. Manchas brancas e faixas marrom escuras distribuídas pelo tórax e abdome. Cerdas da cápsula cefálica marrom-escuras na base e ápice translúcido. Cerdas do tórax e abdome pretas, com a base marrom-escura e porção terminal hialina.[5]. Em seu último estágio larvar, são de coloração predominantemente branca a creme, com listras negras, manchas avermelhadas na lateral, e com projeções espinescentes sobre a superfície.[15] Segundo Otero, elas são agressivas e canibais.[12] A crisálida não é uniforme em sua coloração, constituída por diversas tonalidades de marrom e cinza.[5] O ovo de Dryas iulia alcionea (Cramer, 1779) apresenta coloração amarela a laranja-opaca, com manchas marrons, próximo à eclosão. Subcilíndrico achatado na porção apical, a base pode ser mais afilada que o ápice. Dimensões (média ± erro padrão, n =10): 1,190 ± 0,018 mm e 0,873 ± 0,012 mm para altura e diâmetro, respectivamente.

D. iulia possui catorze subespécies:[1]
D. iulia alcionea é uma das mais comuns subespécies sul-americanas de D. iulia[5], aqui fotografada no Brasil.
Algumas subespécies de D. iulia possuem espécimes sem ou quase sem manchas escuras sobre as asas, como o da foto.
As borboletas Dryas iulia podem facilmente ser confundidas com a espécie Dione juno[16], da mesma subfamília, diferindo por sua maior envergadura, pelo padrão de manchas escuras das asas anteriores e por não apresentar as manchas em prata que esta última espécie apresenta, em baixo. Também podem ser confundidas com Eueides aliphera, sendo esta última menor e apresentando asas anteriores mais arredondadas, ou com Marpesia petreus, em voo.

珠袖蝶(学名:Dryas iulia)是珠袖蝶屬中的單型種,原生於由巴西至德克薩斯州南部及佛羅里達州等地,且在夏季時,有時最北會至內布拉斯加州的西部。超過15個亞種已被描述。
它的翅展为82毫米至92毫米,顏色為橘色,雄蝶較亮,帶有黑色斑紋;此一物種有點不受鳥類喜愛,屬於貝式擬態的一種。(Pinheiro 1996)
这种蝴蝶是一个飞行速度很快,经常光顾空地、道路、森林及林地边缘。食用花卉的花蜜,如馬櫻丹和咸豐草等花蜜,而其幼蟲則以包括西番莲慈竹和在佛克薩斯洲的西番莲球菌等西番蓮為食。
因爲该物种寿命长并在白天很活跃,所以流行于蝴蝶园。
