How caterpillars avoid overheating: behavioral and phenotypic plasticity of pipevine swallowtail larvae.

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2006

Nice Chris C, Fordyce James A

Abstract excerpt

We tested the hypothesis that larvae of the pipevine swallowtail butterfly, Battus philenor, employ behavioral and phenotypic plasticity as thermoregulatory strategies. These larvae are phenotypically varied across their range with predominantly black larvae (southeastern USA and California) and red larvae (western Texas, Arizona) occurring in different regions. Two years of field observations in south Texas...
