Thanks Toshita ! We do have plenty of Smilax - our resident Yamflies breed on it ; But haven't seen the mandatory red ants on it which I am told are required by the Red Spot larvae to progress in life ! We have plenty of those on cashew ( which is flowering profusely this year ) and the cinnamon.

Hi, This link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zesius_chrysomallus) says that Terminalia catappa and Smilax zeylanica are the host plants.

Got to be a first for Goa ! A male Red Spot at our conservatory spotted and photographed by Tanmaye Heblekar today . Photo more of a record shot than anything else.
