Habitat Preferences of Hypena nepa Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of hypena nepa are typically discovered on the undersides of leaves of their host plants, often in wooded or vegetated areas. Searching for these caterpillars involves inspecting the foliage, concentrating on the lower leaves where they find shelter and food. The adults, being nocturnal, are likely to be found near sources of light during the night, such as street lamps or lighted windows. To find these moths, one might set up a light trap in a location where they're known to frequent or simply observe them as they are attracted to illuminated surfaces. Pupae are often hidden in the soil or leaf litter, so to unearth them, one needs to search the ground carefully near the host plants.

Hurt Plant

When hypena nepa infests Urticaceae species, the primary damage is through feeding on the leaves. The insect chews plant tissues, resulting in irregular holes and defoliation. Over time, if the infestation is severe, the host plants may experience significant loss of photosynthetic area, impacting their growth and vigor negatively.
