Comment:   I'm REALLY jealous! Well done. I don't think Anona is listed as a foodplant, so make sure to publish something in metamorphosis about this (and your other new foodplants such as that of the Lorenzo red-tab policeman).

Comment:   Annona has been recorded by Kielland (1990) but the species of Annona was not mentioned. Worth publishing!
