Caterpillars are easily obtained by using a sweep net on tall grasses at night time during the spring; unfortunately, collectors rarely report the species of grasses upon which these larvae are found!

Larvae were found feeding on Zantedeschia aethiopica (peace lily), Isle of Dogs, 4th April 2023,John Archer. A new foodplant for this species Photo of larva seen by Colin Plant & by John Chainey.
