White-banded flat

Individuals seeking them often use food traps with bait made of overripe fruit, fermented sweet solutions, or flower nectar analogs to attract them, especially during the adult stage.

The eggs of white-banded flat are typically laid on the host plants, which are often grasses or bamboos, depending on the region. Caterpillars can be found on or near their food plants, often constructing shelters from leaves where they can feed in safety. Pupae may be located in crevices or other protected areas, often close to the ground. Adults tend to frequent sunny, open spaces, such as meadows, edges of forests, and clearings, where they can be seen visiting flowers for nectar. To search for these stages, one must thoroughly examine their respective habitats, carefully inspect plants for signs of feeding or sheltering, and observe the flowers and airspace for adults.

The most suitable time to find white-banded flat may vary depending on the lifecycle stage. However, many Lepidoptera are more active during sunny, warm days, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when adults are likely to feed or seek mates.

Weather conditions are important when searching for white-banded flat, as they are typically more active and visible in warm, dry weather, while cold or rainy conditions can limit their activity or make them seek shelter.
