They use several host plants, one of which is also used by the Dogfaced Sulphur.. It is a Texas Native plant called Amorpha fruiticosa, or False Indigo. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/1613/index.html
I just aquired this plant from a dear friend here at DG...Can't wait to see it bloom! Looks like a super duper butterfly plant to have, even if you don't live in Texas.
