Hi Gan,

Reared this cat few years ago. It belongs to a Day-flying moth with black and metallic blue wing colour,resembling the Striped Blue Crow. Can't remember the name as no moth-reference with me.

I see. Not sure if I should be happy or sad. Happy that I finally know how the cat of this lovely moth looks like. Sad that this is not an unidentified Lycaenid.

Does it spins its cocoon on the leaf ?
