Dear Bruce,

I think we now have pretty conclusive evidence on its food. Just to be greedy, I would very much like to know what sort of egg ribbon this species produces. If there is more than one species involved in this colour group then perhaps the egg ribbon may give us some clues, although as discussed recently, it is possible for one species to have more than one type of egg development.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
