Sauris interruptata

Sauris interruptata

Sauris interruptata

A species of Sauris

Sauris interruptata is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Frederic Moore in 1888. It is found in India's north-east Himalayas, Sri Lanka, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, the Philippines, and possibly the Moluccas and New Guinea. The wings of the male are more elongate than those of the female. Forewings fasciated with buff, apple green and blackish brown. Hindwings dull pale brown. Hind tibia bears a dark grey hair-pencil which is large and conspicuous. The female is similar to the male but has less elongate wings and heavily striated and fasciated. Caterpillars feed on Cinnamomum species.

How Can You Attract Sauris interruptata
Since adult sauris interruptata are attracted to light, light traps can be an effective method for capturing them. For the larval stage, assembling a variety of leaves from host plants can serve as a lure due to their herbivorous diet.
Rectangle
Habitat Preferences of Sauris interruptata Through Different Life Stages
To observe the complete life cycle of sauris interruptata, start by visiting deciduous forests where the eggs are typically deposited on the bark of trees. As larval caterpillars, they can be found nibbling on leaves during spring and early summer, often camouflaging with foliage. Searching for caterpillars requires examining both sides of leaves. Pupae usually form within the leaf litter or just below the soil surface, making them harder to spot; gentle sifting through the leaf litter could reveal them. Adults usually remain close to their larval food sources but are more often encountered in open areas feeding on nectar during twilight, so visit meadows or forest edges during these times.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Sauris interruptata
The suitable time for finding sauris interruptata greatly depends on the stage of its life cycle. Adult sauris interruptata are typically more active and visible during dusk or night time when they are attracted to light sources. The larval stages can be found throughout the day on their host plants.

Hurt Plant

When sauris interruptata feeds on host plants, it primarily targets the leaves, chewing through plant tissues. This feeding activity results in holes or notches on the foliage, which compromises the plant's ability to conduct photosynthesis efficiently and can lead to reduced plant vigor, potentially diminishing growth and crop yields.
