Now expected in July. The Common Mormon is the tropical butterfly breeders' perfect species. Given plenty of warmth and nectar i.e Lantana and Pentas etc., polytes will live and pair happily in a small greenhouse. Citrus and Choysia are favourites for egg-laying, but they will also lay (a little more reluctantly) on Skimmia. It is advisable to sleeve your foodplant as spiders are very fond of the bird-dropping like larvae if you do not have other means of control.
