False Chief Pseudacraea lucretia tarquinia 12 Months ago Karma: 3
Hi All

Found this larva at Ilanda Wilds during the SABCA BCW:



He'd just gone into final instar. I had to go travelling so missed photographing him fully grown, but I did get the pupa:


A very curved pupa. I did a stack to keep it sharp but off the background.

This male emerged whilst I was at the shops with Jayne today (brownie points replenished!)


Flew off before I could get an underside shot

Cheers

Steve

Great pics Steve. The larva looks almost "other-worldly". What was it feeding on?

Hi Peter

He was feeding on Natal Milkplum, Englerophytum natalense.

Cheers
