Natural Habitat

Agricultural fields, gardens, and urban settings; often laid on vertical surfaces or the underside of leaves.

Diet & Feeding

As eggs, they do not eat. Upon hatching, larvae (caterpillars) consume various grasses, crops like corn and sorghum, and foliage.

Behavior Patterns

Eggs are laid in clusters, often covered with protective hairy scales from the mother moth. They typically hatch within 2-4 days in warm weather.

Risks & Benefits

No direct risk to humans, but can be a major agricultural pest. Larvae can cause significant damage to crops and garden plants.
