    The rice skipper, Pelopidas mathias, folds rice leaves longitudinally or transversely to feed on the epidermal layer, leaving white patches. Its life stages include an elongate, striped larva that feeds within leaf folds for 14-16 days, a chrysalis within leaf folds for 7-9 days, and a dark brown skipper butterfly adult with two white forewing spots that lays 40-60 eggs over 14-15 days. Management involves collecting and destroying the larval stages by spraying chlorpyriphos insecticide at 2ml/liter onto leaves.
