So began Operation Save The Tiger, which saw me collecting at least 20 caterpillars, at different stages of development, from 2 host plants and spreading them evenly amongst the remaining plants. For each plant, I put at most 2 caterpillars because they have such voracious appetites. Just look at the hole on a leaf created by a young caterpillar. Imagine how many more leaves it can eat before it pupates.
I shall visit the site these few days to check them out. Hopefully they would not be washed away by the rain etc and can successfully breed here. I will plant out more butterfly host plants in this park.
