The butterfly is not uncommon in Java. There is great variety in size, 

 although this has no connection with the place or time of capture. The largest 

 are males from W. Java. The larve is found upon katja piring (Gardenia 

 Florida L. = Jasminoides Ellis). It is the usual shape of Lycaena larvae, in 

 various shades of green, with a more or less distinct brown dorsal stripe; some 

 larvae become even quite brown later. The small pupa is also green, with 

 dark brown or black marbling more or less extensive ; the pupae are sometimes 

 very dark ; the ventral side is of a lighter colour. A pupa of March 2 1 ^^ 

 produced a butterfly on March 27'^^, one from April 27''', one on May 4*^'^
