Mariposa buck
Hemileuca maia
Mariposa
Saturniídeo do leste da América do Norte cujas lagartas espinhosas se alimentam de carvalhos. As larvas jovens podem ficar agrupadas antes de se tornarem solitárias, e os adultos voam no outono. Para apoiá-la, conserve carvalhos nativos e tolere alguma alimentação foliar na primavera.
Plano para esta espécie
Conjunto de plantas adequado para Chicago, IL: primeiro plantas hospedeiras e especialistas, depois plantas de néctar, frutos, sementes, folhagem e abrigo que ainda se encaixam na leitura climática atual e de meados do século.

Carvalho-negro
Essencial / Plantas hospedeiras de larvas
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.
Carvalho-vermelho-do-norte
Essencial / Plantas hospedeiras de larvas
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.
Carvalho-estrelado
Essencial / Plantas hospedeiras de larvas
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.
Carvalho-branco
Essencial / Plantas hospedeiras de larvas
Buck moth larvae feed on oak foliage; white oak is a representative native Quercus host within the eastern oak canopy this species depends on.
Carvalho-bur
Essencial / Plantas hospedeiras de larvas
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.
