Appearance
The wingspan is about 45 mm for females and 35 mm for males.Behavior
The caterpillars live communally. They come out of hiding in the evening when they swarm the tree trunk and the branches to get to the leaves, which they eat. The caterpillars feed communally until the tree becomes defoliated. At this point they will start searching for a new host, sometimes invading buildings in their search.The caterpillars are covered in bristles, inducing an allergic reaction with some people.
Food
The larvae feed on ''Melia azedarach''.References:
