Mating probably begins shortly after dusk with a calling period from 10:30 pm. to 1:00 am.
A light rainfall or mist seems to stimulate additional flight or eclosions resulting in more moths on the wing, or at least taken at lights, but overall this species is infrequent at lights and very irratic in flight when approaching.

Larvae pupate underground in small chambers.
Care of larvae and pupae should be as for any Neotropical species.
