Observations and comments |
Young larvae typically had a white background color and fed at the tips of leaves, hiding on a frass chain attached to the vein. They became yellow opon reaching their third instar. Older larvae cut the major veins leading into the leaf tissue and would hide in this "tent" when not feeding. |
