Like so much of Australian wildlife, it is not completely studied, with the only known host plant being Cadarghi, Corymbia torreliana. In Franke Scrub, it probably breeds on the gum-topped box, Eucalyptus moluccana - the only Eucalyptus in the scrub.
The caterpillars turn into large moths, with the females having a 7cm wingspan.
