Habitat Preferences of Great prominent Through Different Life Stages
Eggs of great prominent are typically laid on the leaves of host trees such as oak. The larvae, or caterpillars, feed on these leaves and are usually found on the undersides for protection against predators. Once they are ready to pupate, they descend to the ground to form a cocoon in the leaf litter or just below the soil surface. Adults, after metamorphosis, are nocturnal and can be found around the foliage of their host trees, where they lay eggs, thus completing their life cycle. To find these different stages, one must search the foliage for eggs and caterpillars, sift through leaf litter for pupae, and observe around host trees at night for adults.

How and Where Can You Find Great prominent at Different Life Stages
Egg Look for great prominent eggs on the underside of host plant leaves. They are usually laid in clusters and may appear as small raised bumps, often having a shiny or translucent appearance.
Larva Great prominent caterpillars can often be found on or near their host plants, which may include various hardwood tree species. Search for chewed leaves or caterpillar frass, and inspect branches and the underside of leaves for caterpillars.
Pupal The great prominent pupae may be in the soil or in leaf litter near the host plants, often attached to a solid surface or within a protective cocoon. Searching through leaf litter or shallow soil may reveal the pupae.
Adult Adult great prominent can be attracted outside during the evening to lights, so setting up a light trap near potential host plants can be an efficient way to find them. They might also be spotted resting on the bark of trees or on the leaves of plants during the day.
