Food sources
The larvae feed on Plectocomiopsis geminiflorus.[3] A survey in 2013 found that adults are attracted to bait traps with fermenting banana,[4] and were the only species of Drepanidae recorded in the survey to prefer them over bait traps with rotting prawn.[4]
Appearance
Euphalacra semisecta has pale forewings marked with interrupted brown bands and rounded anterior corners.[2]
