Possible foodplants seem to include most core eudicots, as the larvae have been recorded from across that clade: Known foodplants are Sea Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus), Lonomea (Sapindus oahuensis), Saman (Albizia saman) and coffeetrees (Coffea); the last two are not native to the Pacific region, testifying to the species' adaptability.
Trees include teak (Tectona grandis), anjan (Hardwickia binata), oil cake tree (Albizia amara), sandalwood (Santalum album), bel (Aegle marmelos), awla (Phyllanthus emblica), bhallatak (Semecarpus anacardium), and moha (Madhuca longifolia).
The project proposes to achieve these objectives through the reforestation of 6.213 ha within the park utilizing indigenous species including Albizia gummifera, Bridelia micrantha, and Croton megalocarpus.
Paraserianthes lophantha, commonly called Albizia, Cape Leeuwin Wattle, Cape Wattle or Crested Wattle, is a fast-growing tree that occurs naturally along the southwest coast of Western Australia, from Fremantle to King George Sound.
The larvae, characterized by Sevastapulo for the "dark brown head with a pale, inverted V-mark", feed on the bark and foliage of Acacia, Albizia and Pithecellobium species.
