Tombette owned by Arthur Rolland, larvae feed on Passiflora sp., determined by P.R. Ackery, BMNH,

Note: Due to the presence of butterfly farms in both Guernsey and Jersey, it is likely that escapees of a 

 number of exotic species may be found, but there is no evidence to suggest that any have been able to 

 successfully breed in the wild within the islands.
