Parasa pastoralis

During the larval stage, parasa pastoralis might be attracted to foliage and plants they feed on, which could be used as bait in traps for observational or scientific purposes.

The egg stage of parasa pastoralis is commonly found on the underside of host plant leaves. Caterpillars, with their distinct appearance, can be found on various host plants where they feed on leaves, often on the lower branches to avoid predators. To locate them, search around common host plants and inspect the leaves. Pupae are typically found in concealed locations such as under leaf litter, in crevices, or within the bark of trees. Understanding the host plants and habitat preference is crucial when searching for these stages. Adult parasa pastoralis prefer habitats with ample nectar sources and are often spotted in meadows, gardens, and forests with flowering plants during their active period.

The best time to search for parasa pastoralis would typically be during the day when temperatures are warm as this creature is likely to be active, feeding, or basking if it is a butterfly or moth.

Dry and sunny weather conditions would be ideal when looking for parasa pastoralis as wet weather can cause them to seek shelter and become less visible.
