It is that time of year in the northern hemisphere to start thinking about what you are going to feed your caterpillars. I found this site (listed below) a few days ago and thought it might be useful for some people. It provides a quick reference of caterpillars and host plants. The site allows you to cross reference caterpillars by family, genus, or species and find recorded host plant. Also, you can reference plants by family, genus, or species and find corresponding records of caterpillars feeding on them. For instant gratification (in caterpillar host plant searches) check out:
