Ecology and Economy
| Ecological notes: Field observations concerning this very common morphospecies fall in two groups, suggesting that more than one species might be involved: A): Adults on stems of tall grasses (Poaceae, e.g. Pennisetum sp., Imperata cylindrica); larvae feed solitary on interiour tissue of internodes; B): Adults on wilting vines (Cucurbitaceae family and others) - no search for larvae performed. |
