Life Cycle of Phlogophora albovittata
Egg The phlogophora albovittata begins as an egg, often laid on host plants. The eggs are typically round or oval, minute in size, and may vary in color, usually matching the surroundings for camouflage.
Larva Upon hatching, the larval phlogophora albovittata emerges as a caterpillar, focused on feeding and growth. This stage undergoes multiple molts, with the caterpillar increasing in size and sometimes changing color or pattern with each molt.
Pupal As the phlogophora albovittata enters the pupal stage, it forms a cocoon or chrysalis. Inside, it undergoes a radical transformation, reorganizing its body structure. The pupa remains stationary, often camouflaged, as the adult form develops inside.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult phlogophora albovittata’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 Phlogophora albovittata at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of phlogophora albovittata are typically laid on host plants. Check the undersides of leaves or near plant bases during the day for clusters or rows of small, spherical eggs.
Larva Larval phlogophora albovittata, or caterpillars, can mainly be found on or near their food plants, often times at night. Look for them by inspecting both sides of leaves for feeding damage or frass (caterpillar droppings).
Pupal Pupae of phlogophora albovittata are often hidden in the soil or in sheltered places near the host plants. Search among leaf litter or at the base of plants for camouflaged pupae.
Adult Adult phlogophora albovittata can be located by setting up light traps at night as they are attracted to light. Alternatively, one can search for them resting on vegetation during the day, often in a camouflaged posture.

Hurt Plant

Phlogophora albovittata inflicts harm on an array of herbaceous plants and shrubs by feeding on their constituent tissues. The insect chews through leaves and stems, leading to visible notches and holes which can result in the reduced photosynthetic capability of the plant and may eventually stunt growth or cause death if the damage is severe.
