An adult butterfly (Emperor Swallotail) was seen hovering around a Zanthoxylum davyi and it was thought that eggs were being laid. On closer inspection no eggs could be found but on leaving the tree, a larva was noted on a vine of an adjacent plant. The larva was collected and reared till chrysalis stage. On emergence of the adult, photos were taken but unfortunately lost in cyberspace! The adult was then returned to forest. |
