Life Cycle of Ginger button
Egg The eggs of ginger button are typically laid in clusters. They are small, oval, and have a hardened outer shell for protection. Color changes from pale to darker shades may indicate imminent hatching.
Larva Upon hatching, the larvae consume surrounding foliage. Ginger button's larvae have a cylindrical body, varying in color with growth and shedding their skin multiple times. Their primary function is feeding for growth.
Pupal The ginger button forms a pupa, where transformation occurs. Coloration and size depend on environmental factors. Immobility and vulnerability are characteristic of this stage, as significant internal changes develop.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult ginger button’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

Habitat Preferences of Ginger button Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of ginger button are typically found on the underside of leaves of host plants. Caterpillars prefer the insides of fruit, leaves, or stems, where they can feed and develop, often creating a characteristic rolling or tying of the leaf. Searching for pupae would involve examining the crevices of bark or soil near the host plant as they often pupate in concealed locations. Adult ginger button are most commonly observed on or near the host plants, especially during mating season, where they are attracted to the foliage for feeding and laying eggs.

Larva Ginger button larvae, or caterpillars, feed on the foliage of host plants. Look for them by checking the leaves of these plants for signs of chewing damage, and you might find the caterpillars nearby.
Pupal Ginger button pupae may be found in sheltered places such as under leaves or in crevices. They can sometimes be spotted by searching the base of the host plants or in leaf litter.
Adult Ginger button adults are active and can be found near host plants. They will be attracted to light at night, so using a light trap can be a simple and effective way to observe or collect them.
