1108 Senecio minimus & Shrubby Fireweed Caterpillars by

Senecio minimus or Shrubby Fireweed (so called because of the Fireweeds’ regenerative capacities after fire or land use change disturbances) is the habitat of these grubs; nothing eats it but them and they eat nothing but it, apparently. this is the first year since these Senecios have been enabled regenerate here that the grubs have appeared.
