Habitat Preferences of Tatobotys biannulalis Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of tatobotys biannulalis are typically found on the undersides of host plant leaves where they are laid by the females. As they hatch, caterpillars emerge and primarily inhabit the foliage of their specific host plants, feeding on leaves and staying hidden from predators. Pupae are generally located within the plant detritus or soil close to the food source. Adult tatobotys biannulalis, which are moths, tend to be more widespread but are often found near sources of nectar or around areas with artificial lights at night. To look for the different stages, search the host plants for eggs and caterpillars, inspect the leaf litter and soil for pupae, and observe flowering plants or lights during the evening for adults.

How and Where Can You Find Tatobotys biannulalis at Different Life Stages
Egg Tatobotys biannulalis eggs are typically laid on host plants and can be found by inspecting the undersides of leaves or along stems.
Larva Larvae of tatobotys biannulalis can often be found on or near their food sources, plants from the order Lepidoptera and family Crambidae feed on. Search on leaves and plant stems, especially during the early morning or late evening hours.
Pupal Pupae of tatobotys biannulalis might be located in concealed places near the ground or under the leaves of host plants. Gently sift through leaf litter or check crevices where they may be secured.
Adult Adult tatobotys biannulalis are nocturnal and attracted to light, so using light traps during the evening can be an effective method to locate them. Sweet fermenting baits can also be used to lure them in.

Hurt Plant

When tatobotys biannulalis damages plants, it primarily does so through feeding on leaves and stems. As a result, the host plants exhibit evident chewed areas where plant tissues have been removed. This interference with the plant's structure can disturb nutrient transportation and photosynthesis, leading to reduced vigor and potentially impacting the overall health of the plant.
