Hi there bugman,
Didn’t find any pictures of Painted Jezebels on your site, thought you guys might want some. This is one of 6 which we kept as caterpillars to adult stage. Enjoy

Hi Jon,
We are quite intrigued that this lovely butterfly is known as the Painted Jezebel, a slang term for a shameless, immoral, scheming woman. The Painted Jezebel, Delias hyparete metarete, is found in Singapore, Malayzia and Taiwan.
