Three C-glycosylflavones in the leaves of Oxalis corniculata, the host plant of the lycaenid
butterfly pale grass blue (Pseudozizeeria maha), were identified as 6-C-glucosylluteolin …

The monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus oviposits on milkweed plants, primarily within the
Asclepiadaceae. Oviposition stimulants responsible for host plant recognition were isolated …

Larvae of the lycaenid butterfly Polyommatus bellargus were reared on leaves of Coronilla
varia that are rich in flavone C-glycosides. Six flavonoids including isovitexin and isoorientin …

Larvae of Polyommatus icarus Rott. were reared on inflorescences of Trifolium repens. The
three main flavonoid components of flower extracts, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, its 6 ″-O …

Flavonoids in the eggs, larvae, pupae and adult butterflies of Pseudozizeeria maha were
identified and quantified. Isovitexin (apigenin 6‐C‐glucoside) was the dominant flavonoid …

Larvae of the lycaenid butterfly Polyommatus icarus were reared on inflorescences of
Coronilla varia and Medicago sativa, which are rich in flavonoids. Twelve different …

Abstract Luehdorfia japonica Leech (Papilionidae, tribe Zerynthiini) is a swallowtail butterfly
whose larvae feed exclusively on the plant genus Heterotropa (Aristolochiaceae) …

The oviposition response of the Rutaceae-feeding swallowtail butterfly, Papilio bianor, was
induced by a methanolic extract from leaves of its major host, Orixa japonica. Several …

Flavonol glycosides that act as oviposition stimulants for monarch butterflies were surveyed
from a range of asclepiad hosts and some nonhosts. Major stimulants also were identified as …

Oviposition by females of the black swallowtail butterfly, Papilio polyxenes, was stimulated
by tarsal contact with ethanolic extracts of carrot foliage, Daucus carota. Two of the …
