Heliconius melpomene food source

[Alexander Pernstich]

Hallo Newsgroup!
We are working about the feeding-behaviour of Heliconius melpomene and
urgently need help for oure butterflies.

We know the main food source of the catapillars of Heliconius in Costa
Rica - Passiflora menisperifolia and P. oerstedii.

But these two species of Passiflora are not available for us at the
moment!!!

My Question (Hope):

Who knows an alternative food source for caterpillars of Heliconius
melpomene??

Thanks in advance.

With best regards,
Alex
