Blaise, vilayti imli on which you found the black rajah is Pithecellobium dulce. Also called "jungle jalebi " (As in jalebi, the sweet !! ) due to the coiled shape of its mature pods. cheers sheila tanna --- On Wed, 10/20/10, arundhati patil <[email protected]> wrote: From: arundhati patil <[email protected]> Subject: [ButterflyIndia] Diamonds Embedded To: "butterfly" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, October 20, 2010, 2:27 PM Hi , I found the common Leopard's Cat , Pupae on a Plant ,at Cec - Goreagaon.It was very beautiful. The most interesting thing is , when i plucked this leaf and was carrying it , it wriggled as if it was scaring u. This behavior was fine , if the pupae had just formed , but it was a mature one , as the butterfly emerged the other day!! CAN ANY ONE HELP IN IDENTIFYING THE FOOD PLANT , it had straight thorns 1.5/2cm long. Thanks Arundhati -- Enjoy
