Life Cycle of Lema concinnipennis
Egg The egg is the first stage in the life cycle of lema concinnipennis. This stage involves small, usually oval eggs that are laid by the female in clusters. The eggs are often found on the undersides of leaves and may be colored to blend with the plant material.
Larva Upon hatching, the larvae of lema concinnipennis emerge, bearing a worm-like appearance without wings. These larvae exhibit voracious feeding behavior, growing rapidly in size. They molt several times, showing gradual changes in size but maintaining the overall larval form.
Pupal After the final larval instar, lema concinnipennis enters the pupal stage wherein it undergoes metamorphosis. This stage is characterized by a significant transformation, as the insect is encased in a pupal casing and body structures like wings and legs are formed.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult lema concinnipennis’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. Distinguished by a hardened exoskeleton, distinct segmentation, and bright coloration, the adult is mobile, seeking mates and suitable sites for egg-laying.

Habitat Preferences of Lema concinnipennis Through Different Life Stages
For observing the different growth stages of lema concinnipennis, one would start with the egg stage, which is typically found on the underside of host plant leaves, particularly those in the family Solanaceae. As larvae, they are often found on the foliage of the same plants, feeding on leaves and stems. In search of pupae, look among leaf litter or in the soil near the base of the host plants, as they often descend to pupate in the ground. Adult lema concinnipennis are generally located on or near their host plants, readily visible on leaves, where they continue to feed and mate.

Hurt Plant

The lema concinnipennis inflicts harm on host plants through feeding activities, specifically by chewing plant tissues. These insects primarily target leaves, resulting in the physical disruption of the leaf structure. While feeding, lema concinnipennis create holes and notches, leading to a reduced photosynthetic area, which can weaken the plant and potentially reduce growth and yield.
