The rainy season has nearly arrived in Thailand and with that increasing number of butterflies are emerging. This male
Cesthosia cyane (Leopard lacewing) was drying out in the garden after a short rain shower. Each time you see a beautiful butterfly give a thought to the caterpillar stage which will require a particular food plant. The larvae of this species of butterfly feeds on plant like Adenia, Hibiscus and Passiflora. Food plants are a major determining factor in butterfly distribution.
