Lacera uniformis

Wikipedia Abstract

Lacera uniformis is a moth of the Erebidae family. It is found from the Indian subregion and Sundaland, east to Queensland and Vanuatu. The larvae feed on young leaves and leaflets of Moullava and Caesalpinia species. They have a green body, variably mottled with brownish green. The head is green to yellowish-green or yellow, with rufous brown or blackish marbling laterally. The larvae move in a looper fashion and have been recorded dropping to the ground when disturbed. Pupation takes place on the host plant within a cell of leaves, leaflets and/or detritus, lined with silk.
