Lily, that looks great for any kind of butterfly. I have some Gulf Frits in my room right now in a critter keeper plastic cage, but I've kept them in the meshy ones before. I just pick leaves off my passiflora and lay them in there and they figure out what to do. The important thing is to make sure you have something they can pupate on (they will use the top of the mesh) and also to make sure there is something for them to stand on when they come out of the chrysalis. I had one come out and fall and I had to put him out of his misery. You can always wait until they're in the chrysalis and then lean some sticks nearby. Here's a pic of the chrysalis. They move back and forth throughout the day which is fun to watch.
