blue butterfly found in Asia. It is on the wing from May to November
and breeds almost with high-frequency (June -August) during the
periods of monsoon and posts monsoon seasons. Studies were
conducted during May 2016 to December 2016 at different study sites
in Eastern Ghats of Southern Andhra Pradesh. The development from
egg to adult was 17 - 21 days. There was no dormancy stage in the life
history. Successful development of adults, larvae, and pupae was 72%
– 94% during the study period. Short life cycle and high success
development of life stages suggest the production of 3-4 broods in the
season. | | Keywords : | | | Curetis thetis, Life history, Instars, univalent, Population
