Evans' Plume Moth (Capperia evansi)Observer
thomasirvineDescription
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.
