Mr. G. F. Matthew found the larvae feeding upon Cladiutn 

 mariscus, and states they are of the usual skipper shape, pale 

 transparent olive in color, having the head sienna red, with a 

 V-shaped mark on face. Mr. Waterhouse states that he has 

 bred it from larvae feeding on C. asperiim, and that the larvae 

 and pupae are almost identical in appearance with Ornata.
