Life Cycle of White eulithis
Egg The embryonic stage begins with the eggs being laid, which are small and often laid in clusters. Their color varies, blending with the foliage to evade predators.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva, also called a caterpillar, emerges. It is elongated with distinct striping or patterning, and its primary function is voracious feeding for rapid growth.
Pupal After several larval molts, the white eulithis enters the pupal stage, enclosed in a chrysalis. It is a motionless period marked by internal reorganization and transformation.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult white eulithis’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find White eulithis at Different Life Stages
Egg White eulithis eggs are tiny and often laid on or near their food plants. To find them, examine the undersides of leaves of known host plants carefully for small clusters or rows of eggs.
Larva White eulithis larvae are typically inchworms that blend in with twigs and branches. Look for them on or near host plants, paying close attention to the way twigs and stems move, as the larvae will often reveal themselves by their characteristic looping movement.
Pupal White eulithis pupae may be found in loose soil or leaf litter, often at the base of the host plant. Search the ground carefully in areas where white eulithis larvae have been spotted.
Adult White eulithis adults are attracted to light, so using a light trap at night can be an effective way to find them. They can also be found resting on tree trunks or foliage during the day; look for their distinctive wing patterns and resting postures.
