''Mythimna macrosaris'' is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is endemic to Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and Hawaii. The larvae mainly feed on ''Baumea meyenii'', but have also been recorded feeding on ''Paspalum conjugatum'', bunchgrass and sugarcane. The caterpillar may often be found on the leaves of its host or hiding in the dead leaves and trash at its base. The caterpillars become full-grown about a month after hatching from the eggs. The full-grown caterpillar is 42–45 mm. The pupa is formed a little beneath the surface of the soil, or under trash. The average pupa is about 22 mm long and 6.5 mm thick. The pupal stage takes about three weeks. ==External links== *(Insects of Hawaii. Volume 7, Macrolepidoptera ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mythimna macrosaris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
