Many moths and butterflies are dependent on certain plants for caterpillar host. The purpose of this project is to identify which plants various species of Lepidoptera use in their larval stages. To add an observation to this project it needs to be a photo of a caterpillar (marked as a larva in the annotation), and you will be asked to identify the host plant when adding to the project. ...more ↓
Many moths and butterflies are dependent on certain plants for caterpillar host. The purpose of this project is to identify which plants various species of Lepidoptera use in their larval stages. To add an observation to this project it needs to be a photo of a caterpillar (marked as a larva in the annotation), and you will be asked to identify the host plant when adding to the project. Host plant does not need to be specific to species; noting that it was on an oak, grape, greenbrier, etc. will be sufficient.
