How and Where Can You Find Red-streaked mompha at Different Life Stages
Egg Red-streaked mompha eggs are often laid on host plants. To locate them, inspect the leaves and stems of known host plants for small, sometimes spherical or ovate, eggs that may be laid singly or in clusters.
Larva The caterpillars of red-streaked mompha can be found on or near their host plants. Search by looking at the undersides of leaves and along stems where they might feed or rest.
Pupal Red-streaked mompha pupae might be concealed within plant debris or other protective structures. They can often be found in crevices or other sheltered spots close to the ground.
Adult Adult red-streaked mompha are typically more mobile and might be drawn to light sources. Conduct searches with a flashlight during evening hours or set up a light trap to attract and observe them. This stage may also involve sweep netting or gently shaking vegetation during the day to disturb and sight them.
