==''Annona muricata''== ''Annona muricata'' is a species of the genus ''[[Annona]]'' of the [[custard apple]] tree family, [[Annonaceae]], which has edible fruit.<ref name=cabi/><ref name=morton/> The fruit is usually called soursop due to its slightly acidic taste when ripe. ''Annona muricata'' is native to the [[Caribbean]] and [[Central America]] but is now widely cultivated – and in some areas, becoming [[Invasive species|invasive]] – in tropical and subtropical climates throughout the world, such as [[India]].<ref name=cabi/><ref name=morton/> The ''A. muricata'' fruit is generally called ''guanábana'' in Hispanic America, and the tree is a ''guanábano''. ''Annona muricata'' is also the main host plant for [[Graphium agamemnon|tailed jay]] (''Graphium agamemnon'') caterpillars. They eat the leaves voraciously and usually stick under the leaves to pupate.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}
