Habitat Preferences of Locharna strigipennis Through Different Life Stages
The larvae of locharna strigipennis are typically found feeding on the leaves of hardwood trees in forests or urban green spaces, where they are easily spotted due to their conspicuous feeding behavior. Pupation generally takes place in a sheltered area among leaf litter or in the crevices of tree bark. Adults, being nocturnal, are most commonly encountered near sources of light at night or resting on tree trunks or wooden structures during the day. To find these various stages, one would search the foliage for larvae, inspect the forest floor or tree trunks for pupae, and explore areas with artificial lights or vegetation for adults.

Hurt Plant

The locharna strigipennis is responsible for damaging the plant by feeding on its leaves and fruits. It chews through plant tissues, which can result in visible defoliation and potentially compromise the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively. The consumption of fruit tissues can also impact the plant's reproductive success and diminish its yield.
