Life Cycle of Fine-lined sallow
Egg During the egg stage, fine-lined sallow is encapsulated within a protective shell. Its initial form is far different from the adult, serving as a developmental stage where the creature undergoes cell division and differentiation.
Larva The larva stage shows fine-lined sallow as a caterpillar with distinctive chewing mouthparts for feeding on host plants. This stage is characterized by significant growth, molting several times before pupation.
Pupal In this stage, fine-lined sallow is immobile and undergoing morphological transformation within a chrysalis. The pupa stage is where tissue breakdown and reorganization occur, leading to the adult form.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult fine-lined sallow’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 Fine-lined sallow at Different Life Stages
Egg Egg clusters of fine-lined sallow may be found on the underside of host plant leaves. Search by carefully inspecting the leaves of known host plants during the day.
Larva Larvae of fine-lined sallow may be found on the host plants they feed upon. Look for signs of feeding or frass (insect droppings) on or around the host plants during the day.
Pupal Pupae of fine-lined sallow may be in the soil or on the surface near host plants. Search for them by lightly disturbing the top layer of soil or leaf litter around the host plants.
Adult Adults of fine-lined sallow can be found near sources of light at night. Use a handheld light or set up a light trap in the vicinity of host plants to attract them.

Hurt Plant

Fine-lined sallow inflicts harm on Aster and Solidago species predominantly by chewing plant tissues. As they feed, fine-lined sallow larvae cause visible notches or holes in the leaves, diminishing the plant's ability to photosynthesize and possibly leading to reduced growth and vigor. Over time, this can result in a weakened plant with compromised health.
