The larvae feed on a range of Moraceae including Artocarpus rigida, Ficus carica, Artocarpus elastica and Artocarpus heterophyllus. It is sometimes called the jackfruit shoot and fruit borer.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jack Fruit Borer sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 128th most-seen of the 477 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March and July–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Jack Fruit Borer in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jack Fruit Borer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Jack Fruit Borer sightings, Bengaluru ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jack Fruit Borer is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (37 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
