There are no specific trap foods used commonly to attract ash-coloured sober, as trapping might not be the most appropriate method for locating this type of creature.

The eggs of ash-coloured sober are commonly found on the leaves and stems of their host plants, mostly found in temperate regions. Once hatched, the larvae tend to remain hidden in spun silken structures within crevices of the host plant during the day, emerging to feed on leaves at night. To seek out the pupae, one must scrutinize the base of these plants, often in a constructed silken cocoon amid detritus on the ground. The adult ash-coloured sober, favoring habitats such as shrubby areas and open woods, can be typically spotted perched on the foliage or flitting around the host plants in search of mates and suitable egg-laying sites.

The suitable time for finding ash-coloured sober depends on its life cycle stage. Adult ash-coloured sober are typically most active during the evening or night when the air is cooler and more humid, which is when they are usually observed.

Overcast days with moderate temperatures and high humidity can be opportune times to find ash-coloured sober, especially during early morning or dusk when they are most active.
