Hackberry Butterfly (LEP137) Asterocampa
celtis The
caterpillars are jade green and confined to leaves of hackberry trees for
food. Both caterpillar and chrysalis
blend beautifully with the foliage.
When the adult closes its wings you may see a complicated pattern of
brown lines on a purplish white background and rows of black, white-centered,
yellow-rimmed eyespots. |
