Life Cycle of Chalcosia pectinicornis diana
Egg The egg of chalcosia pectinicornis diana is usually small and laid singly or in groups. Typical of Lepidoptera, these eggs morphologically vary but often have a hard outer shell to protect the developing larvae inside.
Larva The larva of chalcosia pectinicornis diana, which is commonly known as a caterpillar, has a cylindrical body with a well-developed head, chewing mouthparts, and several pairs of prolegs. It grows substantially, shedding its skin multiple times.
Pupal In the pupal stage, chalcosia pectinicornis diana is encased in a chrysalis. During this time, it undergoes a remarkable transformation where tissues and organs are broken down and reorganized into the adult form.
Adult Emerging from the chrysalis, the adult chalcosia pectinicornis diana'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 Chalcosia pectinicornis diana at Different Life Stages
Egg Chalcosia pectinicornis diana eggs are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves. Search by carefully examining host plants for clusters of small, round eggs.
Larva Caterpillars of chalcosia pectinicornis diana are often found on or near their host plants, which can be identified by consulting a local naturalist or nature guide. Look for chewed leaves as a sign of their presence.
Pupal Chalcosia pectinicornis diana chrysalises can be found attached to plants or other structures within the habitat of the caterpillar. Look for a rigid, mummy-like form usually affixed to a stem or leaf.
Adult Chalcosia pectinicornis diana can typically be seen feeding on nectar from flowers or sipping from puddles for minerals. Look for chalcosia pectinicornis diana during the warm parts of the day in flower-rich areas or setting up a bait with sweet substances.
