Life Cycle of Green garden looper
Egg The tiny, spherical eggs are laid on host plants. The color of the eggs often blends with the foliage for camouflage. During this stage, the embryo develops within the egg shell.
Larva Upon hatching, the larvae or caterpillars have a voracious appetite. They grow rapidly, shedding their exoskeletons multiple times. Their main function is to eat and store energy for later stages.
Pupal The larva forms a pupa, undergoing a remarkable transformation. Encased, it reorganizes into a completely different form. This stage is immobile and the organism doesn’t feed.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult green garden looper'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.

Habitat Preferences of Green garden looper Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of green garden looper are usually found on the underside of leaves in various crops, as the female prefers to lay them in sheltered spots. The caterpillars, or larvae, live on the host plant, feeding on its foliage and sometimes boring into fruits or stems, typically preferring vegetable gardens or agricultural fields rich in cruciferous plants. Pupation often occurs in the soil or in leaf litter near the plant base. Adults, which are nocturnal moths, are generally found near sources of nectar or around lights at night, so searching for them would require a light source after dark in areas with flowering plants.
