| Description |
MALABAR BANDED PEACOCK Papilio budha The butterfly lays egg on the Zanthoxylum rhetsa, that too on the upper canopy leaves of large trees a few eggs were sighted all of them on upperside tips of matured leaves,at 20-25 ft height one of the eggs hatched and the egg larva didnt survive they usually seen laying eggs between 8:30 and 11 AM A couple of second instar larvae were found on the uppercanopy resting on top of matured leaves basking in broad sunlight,one of them survived a parasitised pupa was also sighted very close to canopy the caterpillars were fed with matured leaves,the intake per day rate was very low and took more than 3 weeks to pupate from second instar the first photograph belongs to the egg and egg caterpillars,all other photos are of a separate caterpillar beginning from second instar the total period from egg to butterfly could be estimated as 45-50 days when emerged the blue band was orange in colour! and gradually changed colour from both ends of the band, see mosaic picture and this rearing was one of the toughest I have faced! |
