quickly and can be difficult to see. It can be found in hot tropical climates as
well as cooler temperate ones. It likes feeding on the
small flowers of herby plants. Its foodplants are leafy grasses that stay moist and
green during summer and grow in sunny areas. The female lays her eggs on grass.
It particularly likes kikuyu and veldt grass. |
