sevenia boisduvali thanks i am glad you like the page i have added two more pictures of a pupa and a male emerging from the same pupa i would like to contribute to more butterfly articles from south africa and will do so but am busy with several projects i have been contributing to the south african butterfly conservation assessment project so have many photos though some are not 'perfect' quality i think the first thing to do is to make a page entitled south african butterflies or list of south african butterflies i have several caterpillars in my kitchen and am documenting the life cycle with photos i also have a beautiful moth pupa from a bright yellow and black caterpillar i think it is a hawk moth i hope to make a page when it has hatched and been photographed and when i have found information to go with it
