Life cycle
The female releases pheromones to attract males. The caterpillar is green, camouflaged against its host plant Fischeria panamensis.[1][3] However, when disturbed, the caterpillar hangs from the vine with his prolegs and puffs up its head and thorax. The underside of its body is brown, and it has a pair of false eyes on the thorax, making it look like a small snake. It will move back and forth and strike at predators.[3][4]
