Habitat Preferences of Lilioceris neptis Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of lilioceris neptis are typically found on the undersides of host plant leaves, ensuring protection and a food source upon hatching. Larvae, resembling tiny caterpillars, also reside on host plants, feeding voraciously on leaves and stems. Pupae are generally found attached to leaves or in the soil nearby, camouflaged as they undergo metamorphosis. To locate these stages, search the foliage and base of host plants, inspecting under leaves and around the stem. Adults are less tied to the host plants and can be found on a variety of flowers and vegetation, often near the initial host plant ambiance, but may require gentle sweeping or netting to observe due to their mobility.

How and Where Can You Find Lilioceris neptis at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of lilioceris neptis are often laid in clusters on the underside of host plant leaves. Inspect the leaves of Liliaceae family plants carefully to find their tiny, often oval-shaped eggs.
Larva Larval lilioceris neptis can be found on or near their host plants. Look for signs of feeding, such as chewed leaves within the plant family they prefer, and inspect both the tops and undersides of leaves.
Pupal Lilioceris neptis pupae are likely to be found in the soil or in leaf litter near the host plant. Searching through this material gently can reveal their camouflaged pupal cases.
Adult Adult lilioceris neptis can be found on or near their host plants, typically on the leaves they feed on. Search visually for these beetles by examining the host plants during daylight hours when they're most active.

Hurt Plant

Upon feeding, lilioceris neptis chews through plant tissues, predominantly impacting leaves. This activity leads to visible defoliation, potentially affecting the host plant's ability to photosynthesize and, consequently, hindering growth and vitality. No significant variations in the type of damage are observed across different host plants.
