Hemileuca maia
Hemileuca maia
Papillon de nuit
Saturniidé de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord dont les chenilles épineuses se nourrissent de chênes. Les jeunes larves peuvent vivre en groupe avant de devenir solitaires, et les adultes volent en automne. Pour la soutenir, conserve des chênes indigènes et tolère une part de broutage foliaire au printemps.

Chêne noir
Essentielle / Plantes hôtes des larves
Buck moth is an oak specialist strongly associated with dry, sandy and scrubby oak ground - exactly the upland habitat black oak occupies. Its communal spring caterpillars and autumn adult flight are one of the more visible insect events on an oak barren.
Chêne rouge du Nord
Essentielle / Plantes hôtes des larves
Buck moth larvae feed on oak foliage; northern red oak is a representative native Quercus host within the eastern oak canopy this species depends on.
Chêne étoilé
Essentielle / Plantes hôtes des larves
Buck moth is an oak specialist of dry, sandy and scrubby oak country, and post oak barrens and savannas are among its characteristic habitats. Its autumn adult flight is one of the few conspicuous insect events on this kind of dry ground.
Chêne blanc d'Amérique
Essentielle / Plantes hôtes des larves
Buck moth larvae feed on oak foliage; white oak is a representative native Quercus host within the eastern oak canopy this species depends on.
Chêne à gros fruits
Essentielle / Plantes hôtes des larves
Buck moth larvae feed on oaks (Quercus spp.); bur oak is included as a native Quercus support plant, but the relationship is kept plausible because the source is genus-level rather than bur-oak-specific.
