Life Cycle of Brown-bordered white
Egg The initial stage for brown-bordered white begins with eggs that are often laid on host plants. Eggs are minute, spherical, and may possess distinct colors or patterns depending on environmental factors.
Larva Upon hatching, the larva of brown-bordered white emerges as a caterpillar, characterized by a tubular body and a voracious appetite for foliage. The larva will molt multiple times, each instar growing larger and potentially changing patterns.
Pupal After the final larval instar, brown-bordered white enters the pupa stage, forming a chrysalis. During this period, transformation occurs inside a protective casing which may blend into the surroundings for camouflage.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult brown-bordered white develops wings and reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult becomes mobile, focusing on reproduction and nectar feeding.

Egg Brown-bordered white eggs may be laid on the underside of leaves or hidden in plant crevices. Carefully inspect the host plants preferred by brown-bordered white for small, often spherical eggs.
Larva Brown-bordered white caterpillars can be found on or near their food plants. Look for signs of feeding, such as chewed leaves, and search the plant from bottom to top.
Pupal Brown-bordered white chrysalides are often camouflaged and attached to the stems or leaves of plants. They can sometimes be found on nearby structures like fences or buildings where they remain immobile and blend with the surroundings.
Adult Adult brown-bordered white can be observed feeding on flower nectar in sunny spots. Look for them in gardens, meadows, or other areas with abundant flowering plants. Butterfly nets can be used for catch-and-release observation.
