Habitat Preferences of Tridrepana argentistriga Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of tridrepana argentistriga are typically found on the underside of host plant leaves. Caterpillars, once emerged, remain on their host plants, camouflaged among leaves where they feed. Pupation often occurs in a cocoon among leaf litter on the ground or on the host plant itself. Adult tridrepana argentistriga are usually encountered on or near their host plants as well, especially during the night when they are active and attracted to light. To find these insects at various stages, one would search leaf undersides for eggs, closely inspect host plants for caterpillars, sift through leaf litter for pupae, and visit host plants with a light source at night to observe adults.

How and Where Can You Find Tridrepana argentistriga at Different Life Stages
Egg Tridrepana argentistriga eggs are usually laid on host plants. Search for tiny, round or oval eggs on the undersides of leaves.
Larva Tridrepana argentistriga caterpillars can be found on or near their host plants. Look for defoliation or frass (caterpillar droppings) as signs of their presence.
Pupal Tridrepana argentistriga pupae may be attached to plants or hidden in leaf litter or soil. Search gently around the host plant area without disturbing the habitat too much.
Adult Adult tridrepana argentistriga can be attracted to light. A safe way to find them is by setting up a white sheet with a light source behind it at night and waiting for them to land on the sheet.
