Hello! I am going to make plantings of host plants next spring, I will be planting butterfly weed, bronze fennel, and baptisia.
I saw this Imperial moth on the steps to my house last summer, he or she was not intimidated about us going up and down, he didn't move. I was looking for host plants for this moth and oaks, box elders, sweet gum and maples were mentioned. I have them all! I was reading about them and the article said adults do not feed. Are they like mayflies, hatch, mate, and die? How unfortunate.
