Life Cycle of Red-spot jezebel
Egg During the egg stage, the red-spot jezebel is a small, cylindrical or round ovum, often laid on plants. Color varies from white to green. The primary function is to protect and nourish the developing embryo until hatching.
Larva The larva of red-spot jezebel, commonly called a caterpillar, has a worm-like appearance with distinct bands of color or patterns. It vigorously consumes foliage, growing rapidly in size, and molts several times before pupation.
Pupal As a pupa, red-spot jezebel undergoes transformation inside a protective chrysalis, secured to foliage. It is initially soft but hardens and becomes camouflaged. Within, the insect’s tissues and organs are reorganizing.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult red-spot jezebel develops prominent wings and functional reproductive organs. The body coloration is typically vibrant, aiding in species identification and mating while focusing on reproduction and dispersal.

How Can You Attract Red-spot jezebel
For red-spot jezebel, typically no trapping methods are used, as butterflies are generally observed and captured if needed with nets in their natural habitats.
Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Red-spot jezebel Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of red-spot jezebel are typically laid on the host plant, often on the underside of leaves. Caterpillars are found munching on the leaves of the same host plants, well-camouflaged among the greenery. Pupae of red-spot jezebel attach themselves to the stems or leaves of the host plants, or sometimes nearby structures, transitioning in hidden spots away from predators. Adults are commonly seen flitting among flowers in search of nectar in meadows, gardens, and forest edges. To find the various stages of red-spot jezebel, one would meticulously inspect host plants for eggs and caterpillars, observe pupae in secluded spots on or near these plants, and look for adults in nectar-rich areas with abundant flowering plants.

How and Where Can You Find Red-spot jezebel at Different Life Stages
Egg Red-spot jezebel eggs are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves. To find them, carefully inspect the host plants, checking under leaves for small, often oval or round eggs, which may be in clusters or laid singly.
Larva Caterpillars of red-spot jezebel can be found on or near their host plants. Look for signs of feeding, such as chewed leaves, and search the plant systematically for caterpillars. They may also be found by searching the ground layer beneath the host plants.
Pupal Pupae of red-spot jezebel are attached to the host plants or nearby structures. To find them, check the stems or branches of host plants, leaf litter, or other structures where they might be camouflaged.
Adult Adult red-spot jezebel can be found flying in areas where host and nectar plants are abundant. Look in gardens, meadows, and other open areas with flowering plants. Observing quietly and patiently will increase chances of seeing them.

Hurt Plant

Red-spot jezebel inflicts harm through feeding on the foliage of its host plants, Viscum and Loranthus. As it chews plant tissues, red-spot jezebel leaves behind evidence of damage that manifests as holes or notches on leaves, which can lead to decreased photosynthetic capacity, impaired growth, and potentially reduced vitality of the plants.

Pollination Behavior Reason
Eat Pollen Or Nectar
Red-spot jezebel is an enthusiastic pollinator, fluttering from bloom to bloom. Attracted by the vivid colors of flowers, it lands gently to feast on the pollen. During these moments, pollen grains stick to its body and are carried inadvertently to the next flower, thus facilitating cross-pollination.
