Saddled yellowhorn moth

For adult saddled yellowhorn moth, sweet substances like overripe fruit, nectar from flowers, or sugar-water solutions can be used as lures.

The eggs of saddled yellowhorn moth are typically found on the underside of leaves of host plants, which are often located in humid environments that favor the leaves' tender quality, crucial for the larvae's diet. As they grow into caterpillars, saddled yellowhorn moth can be found on similar vegetation, frequently seen feeding on the leaves. For pupation, saddled yellowhorn moth caterpillars tend to seek out more secluded spots such as under loose bark or in leaf litter on the forest floor. Finally, adult saddled yellowhorn moth are often found in areas with abundant floral resources where nectar is accessible, typically in the same habitats as their larval stages, including woodlands and meadows.

The best time to find adult saddled yellowhorn moth is during the day, especially when the sun is out and flowers are in bloom, as these are the active hours for most butterflies. For the larval stages, time may vary; early morning or late afternoon could be suitable when they are more active in feeding.

Warm, sunny, and calm weather is ideal when searching for adult saddled yellowhorn moth, as they are cold-blooded and rely on external heat sources. Avoid windy, rainy, or cold days, which cause saddled yellowhorn moth to be less active and are likely to be hiding.
