Adults of the species are likely attracted to sources of light or may be drawn to bait that consists of fermented sweet substances like fruit or molasses.

The larvae of african peach moth typically inhabit host plants, found in tropical ecosystems, where they feed on the foliage. These caterpillars are generally found on the underside of leaves to avoid predators. Pupation often occurs in the soil or leaf litter nearby their food sources. Meanwhile, egg-laying occurs on the leaves of the host plants, with females selecting suitable foliage for oviposition. Adult african peach moth are nocturnal and can be found near sources of nectar such as flowering plants, which they feed on during the night. To locate these stages, one would search lower vegetation layers for larvae and eggs, inspect soil and litter for pupae, and visit flowering plants at night for adults.

For adult african peach moth, the suitable time to find them would be at night, as most moths are nocturnal. However, for the earlier stages, the time of day may vary, with many caterpillars being active during daylight hours.

Dry and warm conditions are generally more suitable for finding african peach moth, as many moths prefer not to be active during rainy or cold weather. It is also important to consider the specific season when african peach moth is active in its geographic region.
