Amorpha juglandis hostplants

Hello,

I have two freshly hatched Amorpha juglandis caterpillars. I got them from a wild female; she only laid two eggs, as she was very old.

I do not have access to Juglans. What alternate hostplants could I use? Right now I have Carya tomentosa in the container, but I do not know if they will accept that.

Regards,

Jacob

Hi,

I had have never problems with feeding them on Juglans regia here in Europe.

But Juglans nigra they don't liked.

I didn't have any Juglans.

I gave them hickory and beech, neither of which they took apparently, as they were dead when I returned from a 2 day trip, and the leaves had no bites taken out of them.

Very unfortunate. I was quite excited to raise this wonderful species.
