so i found a white moth last night which i end up finding out is a White Ermine. i kept it in a jar so i can take photo the next morning since i never seen one before. only to find IT LAID EGGS when i woke up!

i couldn't find much info on what the caterpillars eat i was hoping some of you guys can help me. Sites i've went to say they eat various things, but dont say what exactly.

i researched that they make communal silk webs so i thought it would end up making a wonderful living sculpture for some of my art work, but i first need to figure out what they eat LOL

 
oh sweet! awesome thanks. i found a few sites saying Stinging nettle. but i was hoping a more safer plant to grow for these guys lol

thanks for the other plants. alfalfa and dandelion will be easy to grow
