Food
The larvae feed on various ferns, including "Nephrolepis exaltata and Pteris vittata". They are highly variable in coloration, ranging from green to brown, black or reddish. It is an occasional pest in greenhouses. The larvae were recently discovered to have high levels of arsenic when feeding on "P. vittata", and are the only known terrestrial animal to accumulate arsenic.References:
