Insect Host Plants
Plants that caterpillars and other insect larvae need to complete their life cycle. Butterflies and moths lay eggs on these host plants that hatch into caterpillars which feed and grow before pupating into adults that pollinate your garden. These plants can also support Beetles (Coleoptera), Flies (Diptera), Bees & Wasps (Hymenoptera), True Bugs (Hemiptera), Grasshoppers & Crickets (Orthoptera).
