The insect has 4-5 generations a year in South China, overwintering as mature larvae in the leaf bud. Adults are active in the early morning and evening. Eggs are scattered on the front and back of banana leaves, as well as on petioles and tender stems. After hatching, the larvae crawl to the edge of the leaf to bite a gap, then spin silk and roll into a tubular leaf bud to hide, feeding from the opening connected to the leaf at the upper end of the leaf bud, while feeding while rolling the leaf and increasing the leaf bud. The prevention and control methods are as follows: 1. Manual hunting. Remove the insect bud in time and kill the larva or pupa; if you see eggs, cut off the leaves and concentrate on destroying them. two。 Chemical control. In the low instar stage of larvae, leaves were sprayed with 0.5 kg of 90% trichlorfon and 400 kg of water in the evening.
