This elusive butterfly's habitat has been tracked down !

The female lay a single egg on the tip or base of the seed pod of the Pitcher plant (Nepenthes gracilis). On hatching the young caterpillar bore into the seed pod and feed on the immature seeds within.

The life-cycle of the species is being recorded by our Life-Cycle Expert , the completed life-cycle of this species will be published at ButterfyCircle Blog.

Here are some shots of the hostplant and a composite of a newly hatched caterpillar boring into the seed pod.
