UP CLOSE with NATURE

Is Jesus Christ the answer to your questions?

The caterpillars of the Common Palmfly (Elymnias hypermnestra agina) feed on a wide variety of palms, including the coconut tree. So this species is common in coconut plantations and localities where palms are grown. This newly emerged butterfly (picture), still hanging onto its pupa case, was bred out from a caterpillar I found feeding on a decorative palm growing in a pot. This gave me the chance to observe its life cycle.
