Question : Green Baron


From :Doreen
Hi,
Is this sighting of a Green Baron (please correct me if I am wrong) any interest to the Butterfly Group? At around noon on 22 Dec last year, the butterfly visited my garden at XXXXX. The butterfly had its proboscis in the crack for quite a while. Can't tell what it was consuming.

Regards,

Doreen,Thanks for sharing with us your sighting of the female Green Baron. The GB is not a common butterfly so it is great that you sighted one at your garden near Bukit Batok Park. The butterfly was probably imbibing liquids and minerals from ground. The caterpillar of this butterfly feeds on leaves of a type of Mistletoe.
