$Tiger Longwing (Heliconius hecale) Found throughout tropical regions of Central and South America, Heliconius hecale is notable for its advanced cognitive abilities—particularly spatial memory used to revisit favored feeding sites. This behavior makes it a valuable model in studies on insect learning and memory.\nUnlike most butterfly species, the Tiger Longwing has an extended adult lifespan of up to six months, attributed to its pollen-rich diet. Pollen not only enhances longevity but also contributes defensive compounds that deter predators—a classic case of chemically mediated aposematism.\nWith its striking black, orange, and yellow patterning, H. hecale is also used in mimicry studies, as it participates in Müllerian mimicry rings with other toxic species. Its ecological role extends to pollination, linking its survival strategies to broader tropical biodiversity dynamics.$
