Adult longevity of fruit-feeding butterflies

Three commonly caught species of fruit-feeding butterflies were used to investigate adult longevity. These species were Bassarona dunya (total number of individuals caught = 77), Neorina lowii (total caught = 69), and Kallima limborgii (total caught = 33). Figure 2 shows adult longevity of each species in terms of the number of days over which species were recaptured. Kallima limborgii recorded the greatest longevity (maximum of 164 days between captures) whereas Bassarona dunya and Neorina lowii recorded a maximum of 60 and 24 days, respectively.
