That's a fantastic efforts of conservation you've done . I can't even find the foodplant of this to try to do similar conservations activities of this beautiful insects. Kowtou to your determinations.
Superb photography. Have never seen the life cycle before, only mature imagos on the wing in W Malaysia and Palawan. Larvae are very similar to other Bird wings including species-specific Aristolochia foodplant, which I introduced into my garden so I could breed T aeacus.
I’m glad you like my work 😊🙏🏻 yes , Troides and Trogonoptera caterpillars looks similar but to me each Sp are very different . As for Troides aeacus their host is not only A acuminata ( tagala ) they can take other host like A jackii , in the wild I found them on something else too . Anyway , I had life history on Troides aeacus as well , maybe it will help u in the future . Good luck !
@@butterfliesofmalaysia Thanks for replying. Yes the adult butterflies look so different, yet the caterpillars and pupae are similar. In the same way Pacliopta genus (eg P. aristochiae) look like swallowtails , yet caterpillar and foodplant show much closer connection to the birdwings. Fascinating!
