Pteridium aquilinum
The larvae feed on various ferns, including "Dryopteris oligodonta", "Pteridium aquilinum" and "Dryopteris guanchica" and herbaceous plants, including "Argyranthemum broussonetii" and "Urtica morifolia". Young larvae are green, becoming browner when older. Pupation takes place in a cocoon in soil litter.
