Dear Ashok, We have already started including pictures of larval host plants on species pages. Milind Bhakare¹s latest lifecycle of the Glassy Tiger (Parantica aglea) has two host plants, among others, and I think most of lifecycles contributed by Hemant Ogale has pictures of larval host plants. We do need to organize the pictures better and we also need a checklist on a separate page. I will see if I can convince one of my summer interns to do a project on this.
With best regards, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Ramanujan Fellow and Reader National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS) Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) GKVK, Bellary Road, Bengaluru 560065, India.

Thanks for sharing the links... IFB website has already become an important reference for me in learning about species identification. Waiting to see a section on host plants.

Here are the mimic: http://ifoundbutterflies.org/83-euripus/euripus-nyctelius and the model: http://ifoundbutterflies.org/112-euploea/euploea-radamanthus With best regards, Krushnamegh. ------------------------------------------------- Krushnamegh Kunte, PhD Ramanujan Fellow and Reader National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS) Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) GKVK, Bellary Road, Bengaluru 560065, India.
