The larvae feed on the foliage of various Loranthaceae species, including Amyema, Dendrophthoe and Muellerina species. They are flattened and brown with darker brown dots. The larvae live in the nest of Camponotus species. Pupation takes place inside this nest in a dark brown pupa of about 25 mm.[2]
