Life Cycle of Calyptra lata
Egg The egg stage is the beginning of the calyptra lata's life cycle. The eggs are laid in clusters, often on host plants. They are small and may vary in color, usually blending with the plant.
Larva The larval stage is characterized by rapid growth. Calyptra lata larvae, commonly called caterpillars, have a segmented body with a distinct head and chewing mouthparts. They undergo several molts, increasing in size with each instar.
Pupal During the pupal stage, calyptra lata undergoes transformation inside a chrysalis. This stage is motionless; the organism is reorganizing internally, and the exterior may appear mottled, resembling the surrounding environment for camouflage.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult calyptra lata's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. They exhibit sexual dimorphism and are typically nocturnal, with muted wing colors.

How and Where Can You Find Calyptra lata at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of calyptra lata are often laid on the underside of leaves of the host plants. Examine these areas during daylight.
Larva Caterpillars of calyptra lata can be found on or near their host plants. Look for signs of feeding damage on leaves and search carefully around that area.
Pupal Calyptra lata pupae may be in the soil or leaf litter near host plants or attached to stems or leaves. Inspect the ground and plant debris, or gently check the host plant.
Adult Adult calyptra lata can be attracted at night by setting up a light trap or by offering bait such as fermented fruit. Observe near the trap or bait for their presence.
