Maybe it wanted to lay eggs, too? Last time the RSP laid eggs I found Tiger ST eggs on the tree at about the same time. Maybe they don't recognize each other's eggs? If you want lots of eggs you have to keep picking them off because a butterfly won't lay eggs on a plant that already has lots of eggs. It knows there won't be enough food for them all. So I keep plucking the RSP eggs off because I want to raise them, and also so she'll come back and lay more!

Here's the Tiger eating the pink pentas. You can see the branches of the cherry tree mixed in.
