Habitat Preferences of Hickory shuckworm moth Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of hickory shuckworm moth thrive inside the developing fruit of hickory trees, where they remain well-concealed as they feed. To find these caterpillars, one must carefully inspect the infested fruits. Meanwhile, the adults, being moths, are typically nocturnal and attracted to lights, so one may find them around porch lights or other artificial sources after dusk. The pupae often remain within the fallen fruits or in the detritus near the host trees, so turning over fallen hickory nuts and looking through leaf litter might reveal them.

How and Where Can You Find Hickory shuckworm moth at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of hickory shuckworm moth are laid on host plants and are minute and oval-shaped. To find them, inspect the undersides of leaves of known host plants using a magnifying glass, especially during periods of expected oviposition based on local climate and hickory shuckworm moth life cycles.
Larva Caterpillars of hickory shuckworm moth can be found on or inside host plant tissues, such as leaves or fruits they infest. Checking the typical feeding signs like frass or entry holes on host plants can help in locating them. Gentle handling of the plants and fruits is recommended to avoid harming the larvae and to enable collection for study or pest management.
Pupal Pupae of hickory shuckworm moth might be located in concealed locations such as under loose bark or in the soil nearby the host plants. Searching these areas, sometimes by carefully raking the soil or peeling back tree bark, can uncover them.
Adult Adult hickory shuckworm moth can be attracted using light traps at night or pheromone traps. To observe or capture adults, place traps in locations where the adults are known to fly, feed, or mate, considering the local population's active flight times.
