When millet skipper larvae feed, they chew through the tissues of leaves of various grass species. This infliction leads to visible holes and notches on plant foliage, reducing the plants' ability to photosynthesize effectively. Over time, sustained damage can compromise the vigour of the host plants and impact their overall growth.

Dark palm-dart
The dark palm-dart is a swift-flying organism known for its darting flight pattern, often seen gliding near bamboos, its larval host plant. With compelling agility, adults display an apricot-orange hue on their wings, exhibiting vivid seasonal dimorphism. During the cooler months, they adopt darker, richer colors to absorb sunlight, whereas, in their summer form, lighter tones prevail for heat reflection. This species is a prime study for the relationship between wing coloration and thermoregulation.
