Habitat Preferences of Brahmeid moth Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of brahmeid moth are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves. Caterpillars, after hatching, are usually found on the leaves of these plants, where they feed voraciously. As they grow, they may venture onto stems and branches. The pupae normally attach to sturdy substrates, often in the crevices of tree barks or among leaf litter, where they safely undergo transformation. Adults are nocturnal and can be encountered in areas with flowering plants at night. To locate these stages, search the appropriate host plants for eggs and caterpillars, inspect nearby tree trunks and ground litter for pupae, and visit floral areas after dark for adults.
