One of Costa Rica's three (minus M. ilus, which has a totally different caterpillar) Mimoides swallowtails, the chrysalises of which are remarkably gourd shaped.

No creo, las larvas de mariquita tienen patas o al menos patas mas evidentes y son mas aplanadas.. Yo creo que puede ser la larva de alguna mariposa pero ni idea
