Even though field guides often list dozens of host plants for the Luna moth that are known from throughout its range, the moths in any one population may be very host specific. For example, even though oak is commonly listed as one host for the species. Not every Luna moth caterpillar will eat oak. Some only eat cherry, or walnut, or some other species. Try giving your caterpillar a choice of as many host plants as possible and see which one it goes to.
