Caterpillars (larvae) of Lepidoptera species (i.e. of butterflies and moths) are mostly (though not exclusively) herbivores, often oligophagous, i.e. feeding on a narrow variety of plant species (mostly on their leaves, but sometimes on fruit or other parts). Lepidopteran larvae often require specific species of food plants. It also makes some of them important pests in agriculture or forestry. The host plants have yet to be determined for some species. There is not always consensus among lepidopterists over the listing of suitable plants.

  • 食草(しょくそう、host plant)は草食動物、とくに植食性昆虫が食物として摂食する植物のこと。寄主植物、食餌植物とも。また、対象が木本の場合は「食樹」と呼び、「食草」を草本のみを指すものとして区別する場合もある。 (ja)

  • Si definisce pianta nutrice la pianta su cui un insetto depone le proprie uova e a spese della quale successivamente si nutrono le larve. In alcuni casi il rapporto tra insetto e pianta nutrice è strettamente specie-specifico (specie monofaghe), come per esempio nel caso del cavolo (Brassica oleracea), pianta nutrice della cavolaia (Pieris brassicae). Alcune specie sono infine polifaghe, cioè si nutrono di varie specie, anche di famiglie diverse: è p.es. il caso della larva di Noctua fimbriata che può cibarsi a spese di numerose specie di almeno una decina di famiglie diverse.
