Scopula rubraria egg timeline Mar-Apr22
The moth was collected from my paddock to photograph and laid eggs in my container.
This wasn’t intended to be a life-cycle study so the information is incomplete, but I thought it might be useful as I couldn’t find any images of Scopula rubraria eggs or larvae in inaturalist. I did not try to raise these larvae to the pupal stage. They were fed on leaves of Plantago lanceolata.
I am submitting a series of 6 observations as indicated:

1. Moth and her eggs deposited 20Mar22
2. Eggs 20Mar22
3. Eggs after 7 days on 27Mar22
4. Larvae on 2Apr22 (exact date emerged unknown between 27Mar & 2Apr)
5. Larvae on 6Apr22
6. Larvae on 19Apr22
