Field Notes

Description:

Slug-like larva with hairs.

Habitat:

Larvae graze the exterior skin of the Naked-stemmed Buckwheat ( Eriogunum nudum) stalks and eat the blossoms.

Notes:

I've help survey the adults in the fall in the Antioch Dunes Wildlife Refuge. This was the first time seeing the larvae.
