The lupine is blooming! These beautiful plants are the sole food for Karner blue butterfly caterpillars, a federally endangered species that TNC is working to help by protecting and restoring their habitat here in Wisconsin, including in the Central Sands. Wild blue lupines are found in the sandy soils of pine barrens, oak savannas, and lakeshore dune habitats. These habitats require fire or other disturbance to maintain the sunny open patches where wild blue lupine is found, and they often supp

Southwestern tent caterpillars (Malacosoma incurvum) are beginning to feed on the cottonwood trees (Populus fremontii). The caterpillars overwinter in eggs laid at tree branch junctions and emerge in spring. These blue fuzzy-looking caterpillars feed mainly on the leaves of cottonwood trees and take shelter during rest periods in large communal tents they construct. These caterpillars often emerge in great numbers in Capitol Reef, capable to defoliating entire trees! As native species, tent cate

Even our old-time caterpillar lab experts can still be suprised and delighted by these strange and complex little creatures. | The Caterpil

Today's Creature: Alcon blue caterpillar 🐛🦋 Phengaris alcon, the Alcon blue or Alcon large blue, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae and is found in Europe and across the Palearctic to Siberia and Mongolia. Like some other species of Lycaenidae, the larval (caterpillar) stage of P. alcon depends on support by certain ants; it is therefore known as a myrmecophile. The species can be seen flying in mid- to late summer. It lays its eggs onto the marsh gentian (Gentiana pneumonanthe); in the r
