Life Cycle of Pharambara splendida
Egg The egg stage of pharambara splendida commences immediately post-oviposition. The eggs are generally small, rounded, and may display unique color patterns. During this period, they remain mostly stationary and develop until hatching.
Larva Upon hatching, the pharambara splendida's larval stage is primarily focused on feeding and growth. The larvae, or caterpillars, exhibit a segmented body with chewing mouthparts. They undergo several molts, increasing in size with each stage.
Pupal The pupal stage of pharambara splendida is characterized by transformation within a protective case, the chrysalis. During this time, the organism undergoes significant changes as tissues and organs are reorganized in preparation for adulthood.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult pharambara splendida’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find Pharambara splendida at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of pharambara splendida may be minute and placed on the host plants they prefer to feed on. Look for small clusters or rows of eggs on the underside of leaves of known host plants.
Larva Caterpillars of pharambara splendida are likely to be found on or near their food plants. Scan the leaves of host plants for signs of feeding, such as holes or ‘frass’ (caterpillar droppings), which can lead to discovering them.
Pupal Pharambara splendida in the pupa stage are immobile and may be camouflaged against leaves or tree bark. They can sometimes be found on or near the ground under host plants, attached to twigs or leaves, or amongst leaf litter.
Adult Pharambara splendida adults are likely to be found feeding on nectar from flowers or sipping on minerals and moisture from wet sand or mud. During the day, they may be actively flying, but if searching at night, look for them near artificial lights or natural light sources as they may be attracted to light.

Pollination Behavior Reason
Eat Pollen Or Nectar
Pharambara splendida participates in pollination primarily through the act of seeking out pollen for nourishment. As it moves from flower to flower, it is visually drawn to the vibrant colors and shapes that mimic its natural feeding cues. During this process, pollen is incidentally collected on its body and subsequently transferred to other flowers, facilitating cross-pollination.
