Hello Eric

I would try Eucalyptus gunnii - which is very good for Caligula thibeta.

Good luck

Alan

I've also heard that they feed on Stephanotis (Asclepiadaceae) in Madagascar. That is grown as a 'houseplant' in the UK - but it wouldn't be practical to grow enough to feed many larvae. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the larvae accept Ligustrum in captivity. Has anyone tried?

I have found that they do very well on E gunnii. The only other species that I have tried is E viminalis - and they absolutely refused that. Not interested at all.

Hi Pascal

I have reared E mythimnia on Ceanothus. Its quite commonly grown as a garden shrub in the UK. Its also evergreen and quite hardy. See attached photo. Best wishes
