Mr. Bates notices fifteen distinct species of Pieridae, belonging to the genera Leptalis and Euterpe, each of which closely imitates some one species of Heliconidae, inhabiting the same region and frequenting the same localities. From Wordnik.com. [Darwinism (1889)] Reference
The Pieridae would, however, usually be less numerous, because their larvae are often protectively coloured and therefore edible, while the larvae of the Heliconidae are adorned with warning colours, spines, or tubercles, and are uneatable. From Wordnik.com. [Darwinism (1889)] Reference
