Teia anartoides

Eggs, grey in colour, are laid as a single mass. After hatching, male moths typically develop through five larval instars before pupation, while females have a sixth larval stage. The larva has been described (Riotte, 1979). Tufts on abdominal segments 1-4 are grey or brown. Adult males are day flying (23 mm wingspan), while females are apterous (16 mm length) (Hoare, 2001).
