Truly a success story in the making! Such a beautiful insect, in all its stages of life! Make sure you get a look at the caterpillar. Way cool!
Atala Butterfly comes back from near extinction Host plant information and photos of the caterpillar: Coontie

Wow, What a bright and colorfull defensive color the cats have!
I did a search on the Coontie plants to see what they looked like and found many forms of them listed. ![]() Some had a fern look about them. ![]() Others looked more heavy leaved like this. Hmmmm Wonder if either of those are the one mentioned. Some articles showed a more bushy and low growing form as well...I took these while in Florida a few weeks ago.
