The larvae feed on young leaves and leaflets of Moullava and Caesalpinia species. They have a green body, variably mottled with brownish green. The head is green to yellowish-green or yellow, with rufous brown or blackish marbling laterally. The larvae move in a looper fashion and have been recorded dropping to the ground when disturbed. Pupation takes place on the host plant within a cell of leaves, leaflets and/or detritus, lined with silk.[2]
