Abstract
Objective. The external morphology and biology of the immature stages of Hamadryas chloe (Stoll, 1787) recorded in Dalechampia scandens (Euphorbiaceae) in the Paway Natural Reserve zoo, Mocoa, Putumayo are described. Methodology. The morphological characters are illustrated and described to disclose their life cycle or metamorphosis. Scope. the observations were made from March to September 2018. Results and conclusions. The immature stages are the typical ones belonging to the genus of nymphalids Hamadryas Hübner present in Tropical America.
