The direct feeding by the adult moth on a fruit causes premature ripening and early dropping of fruits.
The caterpillars are either dark green to black or pale green to yellow. They have small creamy-white spots and bars edged with black are visible on the upper surface of the body. They form a silk cocoon between webbed leaves and emerge as a moth 2-3 Weeks later. The adult moth has a lifespan up to 70 days.
