Dear Friend,

                        I am observing life cycle of Leopard Lace Wing for last 10 years. Since November 2015 I have recorded this event few times. I have not seen emergence of so many butterflies earlier. In April 2016 I collected some mature larva from Passiflora caerulea ( Host Plant ). Some of them turned into pupa on 22-4-2016. And these pupa released butterflies on 29-4-2016 ( evening ) and 30-4-2016 ( early in the morning ).Following points were noted

( a ) This is the first time I saw release of a Leopard Lace Wing in the evening time and flew away within one hour of its release.

( b ) This is the first time I saw release of a Leopard Lace Wing on the 8 th day of life in pupa. Generally it takes 10 days.

( c ) This is the first time I saw release of Leopard Lace Wing early in the morning.( Around 3.20 AM ).

 ( d ) This is the first time I saw release of seven Leopard Lace Wing all of them were female.

Attaching 5 images on the subject.
