Hi, Todd-- very interesting BF-- Do you know what is the host plant for this one? Something that only grows in Newfoundland? Thanks. t.

The host plants are in the parsley family...Scotch Lovage is the preferred but they sometimes lay eggs on Cow Parsnip and Shining/Seaside Alexander. Those plants are not endemic to Newfoundland and could grow in Ohio but sourcing them might be a challenge.
