Hi Milind, Does the Glassy Tiger (*Parantica aglea*) also commonly feed on Parsonsia sp in India? In Singapore, it uses genus *Tylophora *and *Parsonsia *both quite well. Some of the host plants here are *Tylophora indica, Tylophora flexuosa, Parsonsia alboflavescens and Parsonsia helicandra. *
A different but related question. Has anyone bred Common Rose* (Pachliopta aristolochiae)* or Common Birdwing*(Troides helena) * on Thottea genus? In South East Asia, *Thottea grandiflora* is listed as the host plant but we haven't bred butterflies on it but suspect it as a host. Sorry if there have been earlier posts on this which I may have missed.
