Papilio demoleus

For species whose larvae are specialist feeders, finding suitable plants for oviposition is of great importance. Com earworm moths, Heliothis armigera, will oviposit on twine impregnated with an extract of com silk (15.). The rice stemborer, Chilo oleiadellus. female will be attracted to and oviposit near a component of rice plants identified as p-methylacetophenone (16). Some of these oviposition attractants are contact materials and, thus, are probably of no use in practical applications. This is the case for many of the butterflies of the Nymphalid family. The Indian butterfly, Papilio demoleus. seems to require some non-volatile component in citrus leaves to induce oviposition, although it seems to be attracted, at least partially, to the odor of the leaves (17.).
