TAXONOMY:Superfamily: Bombycoidea, Latreille, 1802 |
"Wonderful.World" |
This species is closely related to S. raspa and it is believed development patterns are the same. The natural conditions of a hot, humid environment should be used to rear larvae. |
Larvae descend hostplants at maturity to pupate in deeply excavated
(up to six inches) subterranean chambers.
Acacia angustissima........ |
