How and Where Can You Find French red underwing at Different Life Stages
Egg French red underwing eggs are often laid on the surface of host plants' leaves. Locate these by carefully examining both sides of leaves on suspected host plants.
Larva French red underwing larvae (caterpillars) can be found feeding on host plants. Search for them by inspecting plants for signs of feeding, such as chewed leaves or frass (caterpillar droppings).
Pupal French red underwing pupae may be buried in loose soil or concealed in leaf litter near the host plants. Finding them involves gently sifting through the top layers of soil or looking amongst leaf debris.
Adult French red underwing adults can be attracted to light sources or sweet baits. Setting up a light trap or bait station during suitable weather conditions at night will increase the chances of finding french red underwing moths.
