FOOD INDEX 



(This index is arranged 'systematically, following the Robinson and Fernald 

 edition of Gray's Manual. In looking up a caterpillar, it is best to look first for 

 the general feeders and the forms already reported from the plant on which 

 it was found, and then for other members of the same family, as caterpillars 

 rarely confine themselves strictly to a single food plant.)

 to list them separately. The majority of species listed here would naturally 

 belong to at least two of the three categories.)
