DescriptionZaretis itys has a wingspan of about {{convert|55|-|60|mm}}. The upperside of both wings is dull orange. The underside of the wings simulates dried leaves in colour and pattern. The ground colour is usually earthy brown.[1]BiologyCaterpillars feed on leaves of Casearia and Laetia species (Salicaceae).
