I had a glance on my plants before I was going for my ten days Shimla, Kullu, Manali trip. It was told to others to water the plants. As usual butterflies had laid their eggs on Passionflower's leaves. Some of the larvae hatched from the eggs and they started to nibbling Passionflower's leaves. Each time these larvae eat all the leaves of Passionflower. I tolerate it in hope that they will be cocooned. But each time sparrows eat these larvae. And it was certainly decided that I never have got to see the life cycle of butterfly. I ignored those larvae in expectation of happening the same thing mostly and went for my trip.
I had a glance on plants after I came from trip. Plants were remained green because of watering. Just like every time all leaves of Passionflower were got nibbled. I saw three pupae in different stages of development and one big caterpillar when I observed the Passionflower plant after two days. I kept my camera batteries for charging. But I didn't get good photos yesterday due to wind. Merely today I got clear photos after taking photos using the macro lens on camera. So I decided to immediately put these photos on blog through writing a blog -post. (I am also writing detailed post on my trip. I hope, soon that post will be published.) I am giving photos below. I hope to get photos in future developmental state of butterflies. If I will get those photos, then I will put it in next post.
