TL;DR: The biological aspect of the pre-adult stadia of G. androcles activities in the laboratory and in captivity were behavioral responses as a way to adapt to the environmental conditions.
Abstract: G. androcles is one of the endangered butterflies categorized as endemic species in Sulawesi region. This study aimed to determine the biological aspect of the pre-adult stadia of G. androcles through breeding efforts at the laboratory. The study was conducted from July until November 2014. The butterfly eggs were collected from the tourist area, Pattunuang, and were then reared in the laboratory. The larval rearing technique was using covered method placed in captivity. The time needed from eggs to develop to adults varies, ranging from 46-65 days. The time needed for eggs to develop to the larval stage ranges from 5-9 days. Larval stage consists of five instars, and development time is 23-30 days. Each of prepupal and pupal stages needed 2-3 days and 20-25 days, respectively. The percentage of survival rate for egg, larva, prepupa, and pupa to imago stages were 42%, 90%, 100%, and 70%, respectively. The eggs which failed to hatch were 38%, where 12% eggs were harmed by Camponotus sp, and 8% eggs were moldy. Aleoides indiscretus was a parasite that harmed the L4 instar. G. androcles activities in the laboratory and in captivity were behavioral responses as a way to adapt to the environmental conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Cruise Methods and data analysis with descriptive methods to study spread and environmental impact to presence of G. androcles in Bantimurung and Pattunuang National Park.
Abstract: Swallow Tail butterfly (Graphium androcles Boisduval) is the one of endemic butterfly from Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park, South Sulawesi. Currently, G. androcles very difficult to find in their natural habitat. The purpose of research is to study spread and environmental impact to presence of G. androcles. The research was conducted in April 2014 to March 2015 on two areas : Bantimurung and Pattunuang. Our observation was used Cruise Methods and data analysis with descriptive methods. The result was showed total number of butterfly about 57 individuals divided into: Bantimurung (12 individuals) and Pattunuang (45 individuals). Based on Pearson’s analysis, temperature (r = 0.716 p=0.009) and rainfall periods (r=0.676, p=0.016) has strong correlation with presence of G. androcles. On the other hand, no correlation with humidity (r=-0.888, p=0.786) and light intensity (r=0.172, p=0.593) in the presence of butterfly. We find more G. androcles in the beginning of dry season (end of Juni until November 2014) on the river area and open field. Commonly the activity of butterfly was started 11.00 until 14.00 am. The range of temperature, light intensity and humidity is 29 – 31 o C, 45 -1.735 and 55 – 70%, respectively. Our conclusion is G. androcles activity as the behavioral response to adapted in their environment.
