About this data
Host-plant records come from HOSTS: a Database of the World's Lepidopteran Hostplants (Natural History Museum, London), a CC0-licensed archive from the Natural History Museum, London. It has not been updated since 2023, so it reflects historical literature rather than necessarily current or local usage -- some matches are only known at the genus level, not the exact species, and some confirmed species here have no HOSTS record at all. All Lepidoptera (moth) species reported in New York State on iNaturalist (place_id=48, excluding butterflies), not just species tracked by this project's stations. Retrieved 2026-07-21.
