Great article, Christine! I'd still like to know what was chewing on some mistletoe plants last summer during the drought. Out near where I put food and water out for wildlife, there were Mistletoe growing on the live oaks. I'd find pieces of the Mistletoe plants on the ground from time to time...the stems had obviously been chewed on. I'm familiar with a butterfly that uses mistletoe for a host plant, called the Great Purple Hairstreak. And there were no caterpillars around on the plant, so it wasn't that. A pic of that kind of butterfly:
