Sharing this rarely encountered Pitcher Blue, as its named implies the species is associated with the pitcher plant. Its caterpillar feed on the seed pods of both the Nepenthes gracilis ( Slender Pitcher Plant) and Nepenthes rafflesiana ( Raffles' Pitcher Plant).

The complete lifecycle from egg to adult is recorded here.
