The chrysalis forms on host plants or nearby surfaces, and the adult emerges, living up to 2-4 weeks.Hypolimnas misippus\'s distinctive coloration serves as a defense mechanism, warning predators of its toxicity. The Danaid Eggfly\'s adaptability and widespread distribution contribute to its success in diverse habitats.Females exhibit polymorphism, with multiple morphs exhibiting different color patterns.
