May 26: Where the Wild Things Are – Larval Host Plants for Butterflies and Moths 

Recording

presenter
Featured Speaker: Sam Marshall, Extension Agent, Agriculture – Horticulture, NC State Extension
Moths and butterflies are picky eaters. Of the 150,000 described species, over 99.9% of the larvae are herbivores, and most of those species have a very limited palette of plants on which they feed. In this talk, we will focus on the challenges of being an herbivore, what it means to be a specialist, and the plants you can choose to help support the larval forms of just a few of our most treasured and interesting Lepidopteran species.
