''Mechanitis'' is a genus of butterflies in the tribe Ithomiini, commonly known as tigerwings. They were named by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. Members of the genus ''Mechanitis'' were named for the machine-like metallic color, metallic appearance of the chrysalis in certain species such as the ''Mechanitis polymnia''. The chrysalises have a reflective chitin coating with a metallic appearance. Taxonomy ''Mechanitis'' was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807. Members of the genus ''Mechanitis'' in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. ''Mechanitis'' are in the Ithomiini tribe which includes other Neotropical species of butterflies.

Larva
A larva (; : larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage. Animals with indirect development such as insects, some arachnids, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. A larva's appearance is generally very different from the adult form (''e.g.'' caterpillars and butterflies) including different unique structures and organs that do not occur in the adult form. Their diet may also be considerably different. In the case of smaller primitive arachnids, the larval stage differs by having three instead of four pairs of legs. Larvae are frequently adapted to different environments than adults. For example, some larvae such as tadpoles live almost exclusively in aquatic environments but can live outside water as adult frogs. By living in a distinct environment, larvae may be given shelter from predators and reduce competition for resources with the adult population. Animals in the lar ...

Nymphalidae Of South America
The Nymphalidae are the largest family (biology), family of butterflies, with more than 6,000 species distributed throughout most of the world. Belonging to the superfamily Papilionoidea, they are usually medium-sized to large butterflies. Most species have a reduced pair of forelegs and many hold their colourful wings flat when resting. They are also called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two are curled up; in some species, these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs, which gives this family its other common name. Many species are brightly coloured and include popular species such as the Apaturinae, emperors, monarch butterfly, Nymphalini, admirals, Aglais, tortoiseshells, and Heliconiini, fritillaries. However, the under wings are, in contrast, often dull and in some species look remarkably like dead leaves, or are much paler, producing a crypsis, cryptic effect that helps the butterfli ...
