Howdy All,

Am on a mission this year. I want to raise Common Mestra butterflies. I remember seeing several hundred flying around one weekend in November back at the ranch so I know it has to be growing in abundance out there. I've googled and browsed my native plant books but the photos are either too small or just of a leaf or of the plant at a distance. Would like to view more photos so I can get a good idea of what to be looking for.

I surely don't want to walk around the back fields barefooted or wave my arms through the tall grass to find it the hard way :o)

Does any know of any other plants the Comma Mestra butterfly uses as a larval host?
