Life Cycle: Adult females lay from 30-35 eggs in a lifetime, arranging eggs on leaf hairs. Laid eggs are usually found near leaf veins. Eggs hatch in approximately 2-3 days and molt twice before reaching adulthood. The maturation process from hatched larvae to adulthood lasts roughly 10 days, but varies based on food sources and environmental conditions. Adults live for about three weeks. If conditions warrant it, A. andersoni adults will enter diapause in order to survive colder conditions or overwinter for the following spring.
