The Loepa damartis szechwana moth
flies in Sichuan province in China.
FLIGHT TIMES AND PREFERRED FOOD PLANTS:
I suspect this
species has multiple broods. Cissus, grape and Virginia
creeper would likely prove to be suitable hosts.
ECLOSION, SCENTING AND MATING:
Females call at night.
Males fly into the wind and track the pheromone plume with their
sophisticated antennae.
EGGS, LARVAE, COCOONS AND PUPAE:
Larval Food Plants
It is hoped that this alphabetical listing followed
by the common name of the foodplant will prove useful. The list is
not exhaustive. Experimenting with closely related foodplants is
worthwhile.
