Life Cycle of Borbacha pardaria
Egg The eggs of borbacha pardaria are laid on host plants. They are tiny and can be various shapes depending on species, often invisible to the naked eye. Initially, they may reflect the plant's color, aiding in camouflage.
Larva In this stage, borbacha pardaria takes the form of a caterpillar. Growth is rapid, marked by a series of molts called instars. Each instar increases size and may alter color or pattern for better protection from predators.
Pupal Borbacha pardaria enters a stage of transformation inside a pupa. The body is encased in a chrysalis, and over time, the creature undergoes significant changes as it prepares for its adult form, remaining largely immobile.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult borbacha pardaria’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.

How and Where Can You Find Borbacha pardaria at Different Life Stages
Egg Borbacha pardaria eggs are often laid on the underside of host plant leaves. To find them, inspect the leaves of known host plants, looking for small, round or oval eggs.
Larva Borbacha pardaria larvae can be found on or near their host plants. Search by carefully examining the leaves for caterpillars or signs of feeding, such as chewed edges or frass (caterpillar droppings).
Pupal Borbacha pardaria pupae may be found in leaf litter or soil, or attached to twigs or leaves. Look for them by gently sifting through litter or examining twigs of host plants for attached pupae.
Adult Borbacha pardaria adults can be attracted at night using light traps, or during the day they can be found resting on the trunks of trees or on foliage. Observing host plants or nectar sources during calm, warm weather can also be effective.
