Life Cycle of Protarchella nivis
Egg The egg stage begins with the female protarchella nivis depositing small, often oval-shaped eggs. These may vary in color but are generally inconspicuous and laid in clusters or rows on host plants.
Larva In the larval stage, the protarchella nivis appears as a caterpillar. During this time, it exhibits a voracious appetite, molting several times as it rapidly grows in size, with notable changes in patterns and colors.
Pupal Transitioning into the pupal stage, the protarchella nivis encases itself in a cocoon. Within this protective structure, it undergoes a remarkable transformation, reshaping its body and internal systems.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult protarchella nivis’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 Protarchella nivis at Different Life Stages
Egg Protarchella nivis eggs are tiny and often laid on the underside of host plant leaves. To find them, carefully inspect potential host plants, looking under leaves for small clusters or rows of eggs.
Larva Protarchella nivis larvae may be found on host plants where they feed. Look for telltale signs of feeding, like rolled or webbed leaves, and examine them for the presence of larvae.
Pupal Protarchella nivis pupae might be in concealed areas, like within folded leaves or crevices in bark. Finding them involves gentle searching in these areas without causing disturbance.
Adult Protarchella nivis adults are nocturnal and attracted to light sources. A simple way to find them is by setting up a light trap with a white sheet at night, or by visiting flowers they may feed on during dusk or dawn.

Hurt Plant

Protarchella nivis inflicts harm on its host plants primarily by chewing plant tissues. The feeding activity results in the deterioration of leaves and fruits. This can lead to notable defoliation and damaged fruits which may affect the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively and reproduce, impairing overall plant vitality and crop yield.
