Abstract :

The Talicada nyseus butterfly is seasonal, small, found in Indian subcontinent, Manjari Stud Farm area which is rich in flora and fauna. I observed Talicada nyseus in the month of Feuary 2020 in my terrace Garden. Caterpillar of Talicada nyseus was feeding inside the Bryophyllum leaf. A single egg is laid on the Bryophyllum leaf. Egg is hatched after 4–5 days. After hatching, larva develops in 14–20 days inside the leaf. Pupation period is completed in 9–11 days. Pupa is formed without formation of cocoon. Change in colour and size is observed during pupation. Black red Talicada nyseus butterfly is hatched.
