The caterpillars of Edwards wasp moth frequently cause extensive injury to Ficus trees. Bratley (1929) called it the rubber tree caterpillar because of its injury to rubber trees (Ficus spp.). The immature stages were described by Edwards (1887) and Dyar (1890). Genung (1959) published a comprehensive study on the moth's biology and its control in the Lake Worth, Florida area.
