20230725-_DSC3232 - Hackberry Emperor

            Several species of brushfoot butterflies lay eggs on the leaves of hackberry trees but probably no other species as prominently as this one - thus the name Hackberry Emperor.
Females seek out the underside of the hackberry leaves to lay their eggs either in a small clutch or singly and the hatched caterpillar will adhere to the underside where they will feed communally. A hatching is rarely in high enough numbers to do any serious damage to the host plant.
In winter the dead rolled up leaves can be found to contain single or groups of caterpillars inside. This species will propagate 2 generations per year and possibly a third one as far south as Florida.
