Clelea nigroviridis formosana

Nectar-rich flowers, as clelea nigroviridis formosana are attracted to these for feeding, especially in their adult form.

The eggs of clelea nigroviridis formosana are typically found on the underside of leaves, where they have been carefully laid by the adult female. As larvae, clelea nigroviridis formosana caterpillars are usually observed on host plants, feeding on foliage. During the pupal stage, clelea nigroviridis formosana create a cocoon that is often concealed in leaf litter or nestled in crevices on the bark of trees. Adults are generally found in areas abundant with flowering plants, as they feed on nectar. To search for clelea nigroviridis formosana at various stages, one would inspect the appropriate parts of the host plants and surrounding vegetation, checking leaves for eggs, examining the foliage for caterpillars, sifting through leaf litter for pupae, and observing flowers for adults.

Clelea nigroviridis formosana are most likely to be active during warm days as most Lepidoptera are. It's best to look for them late in the morning or early in the afternoon.

Mild to warm temperatures with little to no wind and dry conditions are ideal to find clelea nigroviridis formosana, as too much wind can make it hard for them to fly and they tend to avoid rain.
