As the caterpillar grows older, it eats all parts of the leaf. Blue copper larvae are shaped like sowbugs or woodlouses. Their color ranges from dull blue to green, which helps the caterpillar to blend in with its surroundings and increase its chance of survival. Depending on their location, some larvae have either a light yellow or white lateral line. Their heads are a brownish color. The caterpillar goes through four instars before pupating.
