Blue Moon Butterfly

Hypolimnas bolina

Description:

The male butterfly is black with blue and white spots. The female is brown and black with small white spots and streaks. Both are about 8-10cm.

Habitat:

The larvae was found on a sweet potato plant in the garden, I put three in a plastic container with holes at the top so I could observe them. I took care of them until they made pupas, but only 2 became butterflies
