In cooler climates like the northeast: early June to early July the adult moth takes flight. In warmer climates there can be two broods. More in very souther climates. Adults emerge from their cocoons in mid morning. Larvae which grow to approx. 3.5 inches are mostly green throughout their five larval stages and spend about one week in each stage except the longer fifth instar (stage). This is all I can contribute at this point.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the species. Some overwinter as a caterpillar and make their cocoons in the spring. Then the moths come out in the summer. Other species are caterpillars in the summer, cocoons in the winter, and moths in the spring. In tropical and subtropical areas, broods occur year-round, and moths can be found emerging as adults any time of the year. There are several hundred species of tiger moths in North America alone.

The Tropical American Silkworm caterpillar uses mimicry by having fake eyes on its thorax to scare potential predators. Another example of mimicry in the rainforest is a tiger moth species. Instead of visual, its defensive mimicry is auditory. Bats prefer the tiger moth over another moth species, so the tiger moth mimics the sounds of the other moth. This sometimes tricks the bats into leaving the tiger moth alone.
