How and Where Can You Find Incurvaria oehlmanniella at Different Life Stages
Egg Incurvaria oehlmanniella eggs are often laid on host plants. To find them, inspect the leaves and stems of potential host plants for small clusters or rows of eggs.
Larva Incurvaria oehlmanniella larvae are caterpillars that feed on host plants. Look for them by checking for signs of feeding damage on leaves, and then carefully examine the surrounding area for the caterpillars themselves.
Pupal Incurvaria oehlmanniella pupae may be found in protected places near the host plants. They can often be located by searching leaf litter or the soil surface under host plants, or in some cases, attached to the host plant itself.
Adult Incurvaria oehlmanniella adults are most active during certain times of the day, typically at dusk or dawn for many moth species. They can be found by setting up light traps at night, using sweet baits, or searching for them on or near host flowers during the day.
