How and Where Can You Find Marbled brown at Different Life Stages
Egg Marbled brown eggs are often laid on the underside of leaves of the host plant. Search for clusters or rows of tiny, spherical or ovate eggs on host plants.
Larva Marbled brown larvae can be located by inspecting the hosts plants they feed upon. Look for signs of feeding, such as chewed leaves, and you may find the caterpillars.
Pupal Marbled brown pupae may be attached to twigs or concealed in leaf litter or soil. Carefully check potential pupating sites or gently sift through the leaf litter to find them.
Adult Marbled brown adults can be attracted to light, so setting up a light trap at night can be an effective way to find them. They also feed on nectar, so flowering plants can be a good place to look for them.
