Observations and comments |
Caterpillars of this species feed on young or newly expanded leaves and could be found feeding at any time of day. 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. |
