Hodges # 7291 – 7292
Caterpillar foods: Black Cherry – R. prunivorata; Alder, poplar, spirea, willow and possibly other plants – R. undulata (Wagner)
These two species are nearly indistinguishable as adults, but the caterpillars have quite different appearance and behaviors. R. prunivorata is gregarious, has white sides and a black back, and can sometimes be a pest on Black Cherry. It ties up and kills an entire shoot. R. undulata caterpillars are solitary and have less striking coloration. (Wagner)
