Sergio112358, do you know the host plant for this butterfly? One was recently spotted at Rancho Primavera, El Tuito, Jalisco, Mexico. This is where I live. Posted one year ago

  Hi Sheryl. The individual on the photo is foraging on Ixora coccinea (Rubiaceae), a common ornamental plant native to India but widely cultivated in Venezuela and other places. I am not aware of any other host plants for this butterfly, but I can do some research. Posted one year ago
