Life Cycle of White spring moth
Egg The egg stage is the first phase, where white spring moth begins as an embryo inside a protective shell. The eggs are often laid in clusters and exhibit vibrant colors and shapes unique to white spring moth. Over time, the egg matures until the larva is ready to emerge.
Larva As larvae, white spring moth are voracious feeders, with a primary focus on growth. They showcase dramatic shifts in size and molt several times. Their coloration varies and is sometimes used for camouflage or warning predators. The morphology is caterpillar-like, specialized for eating.
Pupal Transitioning into the pupal stage, white spring moth encapsulates itself within a chrysalis. This stage marks a period of intense transformation: tissues and organs are reorganized. The chrysalis might exhibit subtle color changes, often resembling the surrounding environment for protection.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult white spring moth’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction. Their wings display vivid patterns and colors.

Habitat Preferences of White spring moth Through Different Life Stages
To observe white spring moth at its caterpillar stage, search on the host plants, generally deciduous trees, where they're often found feeding on leaves. They're also found on twigs and branches during resting. For egg-finding, inspect the undersides of leaves where they are typically laid. Pupae may be tucked in crevices of bark or leaf litter. To see adult white spring moth, check near sources of light at night or on host plants during mating periods. During the day, adults often rest on tree trunks or wooden structures.
