Observations and comments |
Caterpillars of this species could be found feeding at any time of day although there seemed to be more feeding in the early mornings. They are leaf edge feeders and make a very characteristic feeding pattern as they only consume one side of a leaf, from the tip to the base and all the way to the midvein, then move to a different leaf to continue feeding. Later instars (3-5) will hide on the underside of a twig or leaf when they are not feeding. |
