Heliconius clysonymus is distributed from Honduras to Peru. In Colombia it is found in the 3 Andean mountain ranges between 1.200 and 2.300 meters. They are seen in deforested areas and small patches of forest, where they feed on nectar and pollen. The Heliconius are among the longest-living butterflies.
