Habitat Preferences of Cock's-head bell Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of cock's-head bell are typically laid on the leaves or twigs of their preferred host plants, which are usually found in deciduous forests or orchards. Caterpillars, which emerge from the eggs, consume the leaves and can often be found within rolled or spun leaves that they use as shelter. Pupae may be located in similar locations as the caterpillars or within the leaf litter on the forest floor. Adults generally inhabit the same areas where the larval and pupal stages occur but are more mobile and are often attracted to lights, making them easier to spot during their active periods at dusk or nighttime.
