Coequosa triangularis |
< Wingspan: 150mm >
|
My experience with this species is that it starts coming to lights, as soon as it gets dark, but only flying for about an hour. On the northern NSW coast it gets dark about 6pm in April. I kept my lights on till about 10pm, but after 7pm, it stopped coming to my lights. This happened every night I was there on the coast. Early Stages: Ova about 2.5 mm, green with a circular red-brown line as the larvae develop.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Larva 20 minutes after hatching, 8mm long. Compared to later instar larvae that don't have the typical hawkmoth horn, they are actually born with a miniature horn.
