Egg The egg is the first developmental stage of copaxa multifenestrata, typically laid on host plants. The egg is small, round, and initially may have a vibrant color that camouflages with the foliage. Over a period, the egg's color changes, indicating maturity and the imminent hatching of the larva.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva of copaxa multifenestrata emerges as a caterpillar, primarily focused on feeding. The larva undergoes several molts, growing significantly in size with each instar. Its coloration and patterning can vary, providing camouflage or warning signals to predators.
Pupal Once fully grown, the caterpillar of copaxa multifenestrata enters the pupal stage, forming a protective casing or cocoon around itself. During this period, the larva transforms dramatically. The pupa is generally immobile, and its exterior may blend with the environment.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult copaxa multifenestrata’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. The adult exhibits vibrant colors, typically for mating displays.
