Adults live only 1 to 2 weeks and do not eat during this stage.1
After emerging from the cocoon, adults inflate their furled wings with fluid pumped from the body, which takes about twenty minutes.1
Females attract males by releasing wind-borne scent chemicals (pheromones) from a gland at the end of the abdomen.1
Many flies and wasps are parasitoids of this moth, laying their eggs in or on it.1
