Mexican Clover was the nectar source for most species with occasional Bidens.
To say the White Peacocks were abundant is an under-statement as I would estimate there were around 1000. I figure about one every foot or so and I walked about 1000 ft along a path.
While in south Florida I saw an exceptional number of White Peacocks at most sites though not as many as here.
