Common and not threatened. Common from Kerala to Maharashtra, rare in Gujarat. Found in abundant in the North East India, very commonly sighted in Assam. Wingspan: 9-11 cm Distribution: China, Japan, Korea, India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand Food plant : Rutaceae; Evodia meliaefolia, Zanthoxylum nitidum Life cycle : flying March/September The egg is pale apricot yellow in colour when freshly deposited, spherical in shape and has a slightly roughened exterior which looks like the skin of an orange when seen through a microscope. The diameter of an egg is 1.2 mm. The eggs are deposited singly on the tips of very young leaves and shoots in shady parts of thick jungle. Before hatching, the eggs appear to be marked by chocolate coloured lines and flecks. The egg hatches in 4–7 days. The freshly emerged larva is about 3 mm long with two yellow osmeteria (horn like processes) covered with setae on the first segment, a similar pair on the last segment and a nearly white smaller pair on the segment before the last. Each of the other segments bears, on the back, a pair of tufts of stiff hairs, each tuft arising from a small, yellowish conical process. The overall colour is brown, but there is a whitish saddle-like patch about the middle and the tail segments are also whitish in colour. After the first moult the caterpillar has the appearance of a shiny bird dropping. The larva is grass green in colour, mottled black and white and smoky grey. The osmeterium is flesh-coloured. The young larva lies along the midrib of the leaf. Later on, when full-grown, it lies on the centre of the upperside of the leaf, on a stem or a twig. The fifth instar larva is about 5 cm long. *** Payment Payment: By Paypal Shipping cost Free shipping cost.
