Habitat Preferences of Dina yellow Through Different Life Stages
As a larva, dina yellow can be commonly found munching on the leaves of host plants in sunny, open fields or meadows. To observe these caterpillars, scrutinize the vegetation within such habitats. In the pupal stage, they frequently affix themselves to the underside of leaves or twigs, often in more sheltered areas to avoid predators while undergoing transformation. Locating them requires a keen eye and patience, as they are camouflaged and motionless. The adult dina yellow is more mobile and typically found fluttering in and around flower-rich areas, gardens, and edges of woods where they feed on nectar, so one should search for them on warm, sunny days when they are most active.
