Papilio helenus PUPAE

During the summer, these butterflies can often be kept in enclosures outdoors during good weather as they enjoy the sunshine. A sunny spot indoors is also fine, or a greenhouse if you have access. Sugar water and flowers should be provided for butterflies to feed on, and some sprigs of host plant if you plan to breed them.

Host plants: Citrus, Choisya, Skimmia, Zanthoxylum, etc.

See Care Guides for breeding and rearing information.
