Banana Skipper caterpillar moult

Erionota thrax thrax

Description:

Unrolled this piece of banana leaf once the butterfly had left

Habitat:

The characteristic rolled up portions of the banana leaves are a dead giveaway to the presence of the caterpillars, as seen in the spotting below. Pupation takes place in a rolled up leaf as well, and the adult butterfly emerges after about a week.
