Habitat Preferences of Amphipyra tripartita Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of amphipyra tripartita are typically found on the undersides of leaves of the host plant. As larvae, they are commonly located within rolled leaves or amongst leaf litter at the base of their food plants, where they camouflage and feed. Searching for larvae involves inspecting these areas carefully. Pupae usually reside underground or in leaf litter, so looking for them may require gentle excavation near host plants. Adults, being nocturnal, are often observed near light sources at night or resting on tree trunks during the day. To locate adults, one should check these areas with a flashlight after dusk or search tree trunks during daylight hours.
