Egg Chrysolina bankii eggs are typically laid on the undersides of leaves of host plants. Look for clusters of small, oval eggs attached to leaves in the host plant habitat.
Larva Chrysolina bankii larvae can be found on or near their food plants. Search for them by inspecting the leaves, stems, and branches of potential host plants for feeding damage or fecal matter.
Pupal Chrysolina bankii pupae are often found in the soil beneath the food plant or on the plant itself. Gently dig around the base of host plants or check under leaves and stems for these immobile stages.
Adult Adult chrysolina bankii can be located by gently sweeping a net over the vegetation or by visually searching for them on host plants where they feed and mate during the warmer parts of the day.
