What kind of flowers do catapillers like?
It depends on what type of caterpillar it is and what it's host plant is. Caterpillars usually eat the leaves of the plant and not the flowers. For example a monarch butterfly caterpillar eats milkweed leaves. The yellow eastern swallowtail butterfly caterpillars eat fennels, dill weed, and parsley plants. The spicebush swallowtail caterpillars eat spicebush leaves. If you want to attract butterflies to your garden, you must plant the host plant that the butterflies will lay their eggs on.
Does a black swallowtail butterfly eat parsley?
The larval stage of Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) does have parsley as one of its host plants, meaning: the caterpillars eat parsley (as well as dill and carrot tops.) If you see them in your garden-- don't kill them! Plant more parsley and enjoy the beautiful adult stage.

dodder plant can pull nutrients from its host plant and it kills its host plant
Name the plant that lives off a host?
A parasitic plant, such as mistletoe or dodder, lives off a host plant by attaching itself to the host and absorbing water and nutrients from it. This can weaken the host plant and impact its ability to grow and reproduce.
The plant on which a parasatic plant grows?
The plant on which a parasitic plant grows is called the host plant. The parasitic plant relies on the host plant for nutrients and water to survive. This relationship can be detrimental to the host plant if the parasitic plant takes too many resources.
Is the eastern tiger swallowtail heterotroph?
Yes, the eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) is a heterotroph. As a butterfly, it cannot produce its own food through photosynthesis like plants do; instead, it relies on consuming organic substances, primarily nectar from flowers, as well as other plant materials and, during its larval stage, leaves from host plants. This reliance on other organisms for energy and nutrients classifies it as a heterotrophic organism.
What plants do swallowtails eat?
Swallowtail butterflies primarily feed on the leaves of specific host plants during their larval (caterpillar) stage. Common plants they prefer include members of the citrus family (Rutaceae) like orange and lemon trees, as well as herbs such as dill, parsley, and fennel. Some swallowtail species also utilize plants in the pea family (Fabaceae) and various other flowering plants. Each swallowtail species has its own set of preferred host plants, which are essential for their development.
