#1476 - Argina astrea - Crotalaria Podborer
Photo by Geoff Beetlenut, in Mackay, Queensland.
Despite the common name, the caterpillars are found on Beaumontia (APOCYNACEAE ), Peter's Fig ( Ficus petersii, MORACEAE ), Lathberry ( Eugenia cordata, MYRTACEAE ), and Mickey Mouse Bush ( Ochna serrulata, OCHNACEAE ) as well as Crotalaria. In the case of the last foodplant, at least, they start on the foliage, then switch to the flowers and seeds.
It’s native to Africa, most of Asia, and the warmer parts of Australia.
