Butterfly new to Sri Lanka




Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that we've 'discovered' a butterfly new to 
SL! Not new to science. It's Catopsilia scylla, the Orange Migrant, 
which is common in Northern Australia, Singa****e, Malaysia etc. It has 
never been re****ted in Sri Lanka before. We first saw adults, then when 
we checked the plants they were hanging around, we found pupal cases, 
pupae, eggs, larvae of all stages! So they seem to be breeding here. How 
they got here still needs to be worked out, possibly on some im****ted 
plant material. There's more information at our website:
www.srilankaninsects.net

and in this newspaper article (which has some incorrect information):
www.sundaytimes.lk/080224/Plus/plus00002.html
