3. Behavior<br />
Larvae wriggle backwards rapidly when<br />
disturbed. They may also drop from the leaf,<br />
suspended by a silken thread, to remain suspended<br />
temporarily, or drop to a lower leaf.<br />
Larvae are susceptible to drowning; the first<br />
instars are the most vulnerable. An average<br />
mortality rate of 56% caused by rainfall has been<br />
reported.
