What species of butterflies/moths eat Ivy

Hello Jan,

if your question includes exotic species: Some breeders were successful with Bunaea alcinoe. That´s the only one I know for sure.

Last year I bred Lasiocampa quercus an Hedera helix

You can bred Attacus atlas and lormieri on hedera.

There is a guide book, Foodplants of World Saturniidae, Stephen Stone published in 1991 by the Lepidopterist's Society,

that lists moth species, plant species, and uses a reference system allowing a person to search in exactly the manner of your question,

for example- search for Hedera helix and there will be a list of moths(at the time) known to accept it, common names for trees are

included when known. Might be a hard one to track down, but it's been a good tool for me, although the acceptance of a plant, doesn't mean

it'll produce an adult, still, a good reference book, and one many people might not be aware of.

Unfortunately, at the time of printing, apparently no Saturniidae species were known to accept Hedera. Otherwise, I'd have listed any.
