This scavenger moth is known in India and Ceylon. We found it very common in Guam, the caterpillars feeding in dead dry plant materials. Moths were reared from caterpillars feeding in old fruits of Barringtonia speciosa, also on dried leaves, flowers and buds, and from leaves of Barringtonia racemosa, from larvae feeding among old seed clusters of Mallotus moluccanus, dried rose petals, and sunflower heads.
