Abstract
The caterpillar of a plume moth (Trichoptilus parvulus) was found feeding on a sundew plant (Drosera capillaris) in Florida. The larva eats the stalked glands with their sticky secretion, the leaf blades, and even dead insects trapped by the plant.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
