Ibintu by'ukuri

1

The caterpillars' spines are urticating, meaning they can cause a stinging reaction on contact.1

2

Adults live only 1 to 2 weeks and do not eat during this stage.1

3

After emerging from the cocoon, adults inflate their furled wings with fluid pumped from the body, which takes about twenty minutes.1

4

Females attract males by releasing wind-borne scent chemicals (pheromones) from a gland at the end of the abdomen.1

5

Many flies and wasps are parasitoids of this moth, laying their eggs in or on it.1
