How and Where Can You Find Digama marmorea at Different Life Stages
Egg Digama marmorea eggs are typically found on the underside of leaves of the host plant. To find them, inspect the host plants from beneath and look for clusters or rows of tiny, often spherical or oval-shaped eggs.
Larva Digama marmorea larvae or caterpillars can be found on or near their food plants. Search for them by carefully examining the leaves and stems for signs of feeding, such as chewed edges or frass.
Pupal Digama marmorea pupae may be located in or on the ground, in leaf litter, or attached to the stems of plants. They can be uncovered by gently sifting through leaf litter or examining the bases of plants and nearby surfaces where they may be camouflaged.
Adult Digama marmorea adults, as nocturnal moths, can be attracted at night using lights or baited traps. Set up a white sheet with a light source to attract and observe them, or place bait in strategic locations after dusk.

Hurt Plant

When digama marmorea infests a plant, it primarily targets leaves and stems. As it feeds by chewing plant tissues, it can cause significant defoliation. The damage manifests as irregular holes in leaves and can lead to stem girdling. This feeding activity compromises the plant's ability to photosynthesize and transport nutrients effectively, potentially stunting growth and reducing the plant's overall vigor.
