Grasses are what hobomok skipper caterpillars eat. The larval stage of the insect in question (Poanes hobomok) feeds upon such grasses as blue (Poa spp), orchard (Dactylis glomerata), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), and panic (Panicum spp). Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) nevertheless is a grass which the caterpillars do not prey upon in the wild but do in captivity and lab situations.
