The larvae feed on the leaves of Rosa, Citrus and Malus species. They are very variable in colour, matching the colour of the leaves on which they feed. The colour ranges from yellow green with a pinkish lateral line to orange pink and green tinged with bronze or green with a crimson and yellow lateral line.
