Caterpillar foods: asters and goldenrod (Bugguide)
There are several species of Cucullia which may look alike as caterpillars – according to Bugguide, and to David Wagner. C asteroides, C. postera, C. omissa, and C. florae. I think these are all C. asteroides, but I’m not sure.
9/16/2010 I did try to rear this one, but it had been parasitized – there’s the black spot – I think a breathing tube – of the parasite on the top of the caterpillar.
