Todd
Stout located female on 14 September
2010 by the Verde River, Cottonwood City, Yavapai County, Arizona,
elevation of 3300 feet
Reared and photographed by Nicky Davis.
Ova
4 days
The
female oviposited on host plant, Thymophylla
pentachaeta/Dyssodia pentachaeta - Fetid Marigold/ Five-needle
Prickly-leaf, and on the screen of the container
which was set under the dappled sunlight of an Aspen.
Larva
19-22
days
Pupa
7
days - One
pupa was formed on a flower stem and one on a calyx. I put
recycled
brown paper towel strips on some flowers. Some of the larvae
used the paper as the surface to form pupae. The pupae were kept
in
24x7 light. I did not mist these daily because Jack Harry told me
that members of the sub-family Coliadinae preferred a somewhat dry environment
in the lab.
