Collections of immature Papilio godeffroyi were conducted on 117 individually marked host trees (Micromelum minutum) in eight forest stands on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, at approximately monthly intervals during 2013-2014. Specimens, including eggs, eggshells, larvae, and pupae, were taken to the laboratory at American Samoa Community College for processing and rearing. Intervals between stages (e.g., larva to pupae) were averaged to provide developmental times.
