Previous research suggested there is an environment factor behind this, but my breeding experience suggests that this is not always the case. More works need to be done to understand the exact progress which gives rise to the colour forms in the butterflies' early stages.Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159288580693656871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432400397162178532.post-12162381048267107292014-01-05T11:48:56.210+08:002014-01-05T11:48:56.210+08:00Amazing life history Uncle Horace!! I'm really...Amazing life history Uncle Horace!! I'm really intrigued by the green and brown forms of the final instar caterpillars and the pupae. <br /><br />I assumed that the brown forms would naturally pupate on a dry grass blade or stem but your video shows it pupating on a very green stem!!<br /><br />Do you know what induces the colour forms?Bluebottlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667008363720497894noreply@blogger.com
