Taro
The larvae feed on "Alocasia macrorrhizos", "Colocasia esculenta" and "Zantedeschia aethiopica". Early instars are green with a pair of blue-green eyespots on each side of the front of the abdomen, and a pale tail spike. Later instars vary in colour from green to orange or even brown, with two equally sized eye spots on each side, on the first and second abdominal segments. They only have a short dorsal horn. Pupation takes place in a long and thin, mottled brown pupa.
