Life Cycle of Necklace veneer
Egg At this initial stage, necklace veneer appears as tiny, often oval eggs, commonly laid in clusters. The color may vary, generally designed to blend with the environment to avoid predation.
Larva Hatching as larvae, necklace veneer exhibit a worm-like appearance and are primarily focused on feeding. The larvae gradually increase in size, going through several molts to accommodate growth.
Pupal After reaching sufficient size and maturity, necklace veneer encase themselves in a pupa, undergoing profound transformation. External structures are broken down and reorganized within the protective casing.
Adult Emerging as adults, necklace veneer display fully developed wings, distinctive coloration, and patterns. The body is hardened, enabling flight and mating, completing the life cycle.

How Can You Attract Necklace veneer
Adult necklace veneer may be attracted to light traps at night or to bait such as fermenting fruit or sugary solutions.
Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Necklace veneer Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of necklace veneer are laid on host plants, commonly grasses, making grasslands a prime location to find them. Larvae, once hatched, remain on these plants for nourishment, indicating a search within these habitats during the caterpillar stage. As pupae, necklace veneer often burrow into the soil or form cocoons in ground litter or among plant debris, requiring careful examination of these substrates to locate them. Adult necklace veneer, with their mobility, are typically found around fields and meadows where flowers for nectar are accessible, suggesting a lookout in these areas during their flying stage.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Necklace veneer
The best time to find adult necklace veneer is usually at dusk or during the night when they are most active. For larvae, it's during the day when they are feeding on host plants.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Necklace veneer
Calm, warm, and humid nights are ideal for finding adult necklace veneer, as these conditions are favorable for their flight activity. Dry and warm days are good for finding caterpillars on their host plants.
Rectangle
How and Where Can You Find Necklace veneer at Different Life Stages
Egg Necklace veneer eggs are typically laid on host plants. To find them, closely inspect the leaves of potential host plants, looking for small, round or oval eggs that may be laid singly or in clusters.
Larva Necklace veneer larvae, or caterpillars, are found on or near their food plants. Search for chewed leaves or droppings beneath the plants; then, carefully check the plants for caterpillars camouflaged among the foliage.
Pupal Pupae of necklace veneer are often hidden in the vegetation or in the soil. Look for them in sheltered places like under leaves, in crevices, or just beneath the soil surface at the base of the host plants.
Adult To find adult necklace veneer, use light traps after dark or search for them resting on vegetation during the day. They may also be attracted to bait stations set up with fermenting fruit or sweet solutions.

Agricultural Pests

The larvae of necklace veneer can inflict a range of damage from mild to severe, depending on their population. As they feed on seeds, stems, and leaves, crops experience reduced vigor and yield loss. In high numbers, necklace veneer infestations can lead to significant economic impacts on agriculture and potentially affect food supplies.
