Like all palmflies, its larvae feed on the leaves of various species of palm tree, including the Coconut palm. It flies with a slow flapping and gliding motion, and often lands on leaves after each short flight. It prefers shady areas and is usually found flying under the cover of trees and amongst the undergrowth. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
