Abstract
The present work deals with the biology of Trabala vishnou (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) on forest trees. Regular monitoring of forest trees during April 2022 - March 2023 for pest occurrence revealed severe defoliation by this hairy caterpillar. Caterpillars feed heavily on the tender foliage causing severe defoliation. The members of this family are called lappet moth and tent caterpillars. Studies on the biological attributes reveal the important information about the life cycle, and the better management strategy. Life cycle was studied in laboratory under normal conditions.
