How and Where Can You Find Macrobrochis gigas at Different Life Stages
Egg Macrobrochis gigas eggs are typically laid on the underside of leaves of host plants. To find them, inspect these areas carefully for small, round or oval eggs that may be in clusters or rows.
Larva Macrobrochis gigas larvae can be found on or near their host plants. Look for them by carefully inspecting the leaves, stems, and surrounding ground for caterpillars or signs of feeding damage.
Pupal Macrobrochis gigas chrysalises are usually found in concealed locations close to the ground, such as under leaves or in crevices. Search these areas gently to avoid disturbing the pupae.
Adult The adult macrobrochis gigas can be located by setting up a light source at night, such as a UV light or a bright lamp, to attract them. Alternatively, sweet bait traps can also be used.
