In the past I have had long tailed skippers host on the leaves if clitoria tenuta vines. This is the first time that I have seen any butterfly outside of the fritillary group use passiflora leaves as host plants in my yard here in southeast Louisiana. Long tailed skipper is actually as assumption on my part. Are there any others that cut the leaves like this to shade their caterpillars? |
