How and Where Can You Find Aglaopus pyrrhata at Different Life Stages
Egg Aglaopus pyrrhata eggs can often be found on the underside of leaves of the host plants. To find them, examine the leaves carefully for small clusters or rows of eggs that can be oval or round.
Larva Aglaopus pyrrhata larvae (caterpillars) can be found on or near their host plants. Look for signs of feeding, such as holes in leaves, and check both sides of leaves for the presence of caterpillars.
Pupal Aglaopus pyrrhata pupae may be attached to the host plant or nearby structures, hidden in leaf litter, or underground. Search the vicinity of the host plant and gently sift through the leaf litter to uncover them.
Adult Aglaopus pyrrhata adults are attracted to light, so using a light trap at night is an effective way to locate them. You can also prepare sugar baits by mixing sugar and beer, and painting it on tree trunks to attract them.

Hurt Plant

When aglaopus pyrrhata feed on leaves, they chew through the plant tissues, creating areas of destruction that can hinder photosynthesis and weaken the plant. Over time, this damage can lead to a reduced growth rate and compromised vitality of the host plants, though the overall appearance may not significantly differ.
