Life Cycle of Hebrew moth
Egg The hebrew moth begins as an egg, usually laid on plant leaves. The eggs are tiny, spherical, and may be colored to blend in with the leaf surface.
Larva Upon hatching, the hebrew moth larva, also known as a caterpillar, is worm-like. It's primarily focused on eating and growth, shedding its skin several times.
Pupal As a pupa, the hebrew moth is encased in a chrysalis. During this stage, significant transformation occurs inside, as the hebrew moth's body structure completely changes.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult hebrew moth'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.

Habitat Preferences of Hebrew moth Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of hebrew moth are typically laid on the underside of leaves of the host plant, which is often a tree or shrub in woodland areas. As they mature into larvae, they can commonly be found on the foliage, consuming leaves voraciously. Seeking these caterpillars requires searching along branches and leaves. The pupal stage of hebrew moth generally occurs in a cocoon in the leaf litter on the forest floor, making it essential to sift through fallen leaves and debris when looking for them. Adult hebrew moth, once emerged, are nocturnal and are often found near the vegetation of their larval food sources or around lights at night.
