In French Guiana adults are on the wing in March, August and October. In Mato Grosso, Brazil flights have been observed in February and May.
Gregory Nielsen reports a July flight in Villavicencio, Meta, Colombia.
The larvae have very long "horns" in the early instars and are green.
Larvae become darker, almost brown, as they mature and anal horn is greatly diminished.
Larval development takes about 36 days.
