Description
Summary:Here we present some hitherto undescribed details of the habitat, lifecycle, immature stages and a new method for finding different larval stages of Cheritra freja by analyzing the fecula measurements of various larval instars. This study should be very useful in helping researchers to find larvae and new food plants.
