Nepticuliids

[Lawrence Turner]

This is a list of the plants from Monterey County, California, from which I've collected Nepticullid larvae. I was able to raise many to the adult stage. Some of these are probably the same species, just feeding on different plants. And also, some plants had more than one species. I hope this might be of use to someone: Toxidendron diversilobum,Berberis pinnata,Alnus rubra, Chrysolepis chrysophylla, Lithcarpus densiflora, Quercus kelloggii, Quercus agrifolia, Quercus parvula, Quercus wislizenii, Quercus douglasii, Quercus lobata, Quercus chrysolepis, Quercus berberidifolia, Quercus john-tuckeri, Juglans sp., Sidalcea malvaeflora, Platanus racemosa, Eriogonum latifolium, Eriogonum nudum, various Ceanothus species, Rhamnus californica, Rhamnus crocea, Rosa(ornamental), Rosa californica,Cercocarpus betuloides, Holodiscus discolor, Heteromeles arbutifolia, Populus balsamifera, Salix exigua, Salix scouleriana, Salix lasiolepis, Salix laevigata and Salix lasiandra. There are undoubtedly others, as this county has a vast array of native plants in quite varied habitats!
