Field Notes

Habitat:

In the West Indies this species develops on the seeds of the Portia tree (Thespesia populnea), a member of the mallow family that grows along the shoreline.

Notes:

Found very near a shore line, there was a large number at different stages of maturity. I neglected to note the tree species in the area, though I believe they were at the base of a sea grape.
