Habitat Preferences of Nyctycia plagiogramma Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of nyctycia plagiogramma are typically found on the underside of host plant leaves, while the larval stage, or caterpillars, are common on various leaves where they feed and grow, often found in gardens or fields. Pupae of nyctycia plagiogramma are usually hidden in the soil or amongst leaf litter, providing camouflage and protection during this vulnerable stage. Adults, the moths, are nocturnal and are frequently encountered near sources of light at night or resting on the bark of trees during the day. To search for these stages, one would inspect host plants for eggs, search foliage for caterpillars, sift through soil or leaf litter for pupae, and use light traps or check tree trunks for adult moths.
