Larval Food Plants
Listed below are primary food plant(s) and alternate food plants listed in Stephen E.
Stone's Foodplants of World Saturniidae or from other sources. It is hoped that this
alphabetical listing followed by the common name of the foodplant will
prove useful. The list is not exhaustive. Experimenting with closely
related foodplants is worthwhile.
