feeding on Hemizonia congesta.
Reared from Scutellaria galericulata. Found on 6/25. Larvae feed in new growth, and so far I’ve found larvae in every bud that seemed to have wilted; the larvae may cause this to happen (or they’re just so abundant that they happen to be in every wilted bud). Pupated in a simple naked chrysalis on main stem of plant on 7/1. Eclosed on 7/6.
Reared from Calystegia sepium. Found on 7/24 inside of a flower bud. Pupated on the lid of the container on 7/26. Eclosed 8/2.
Observed in St. Williams Forest. Over 40 individuals found nectaring on this single plant.
Observation is for the prey. Yellowthroat posted separately.
A few plumes came to cfl night light.
