Early instar larvae prefer to feed on the epidermis of leaves of " Vaccinium vitis-idaea ", but is polyphagous when reared.
42.
The larvae are polyphagous, feeding on leaves of a variety of plants ( mainly Rosaceae, Betulaceae and Salicaceae species, but also on bracken species ).
43.
Larva redbrown, dorsal line darker, subdorsal band alternately black and white; a diffused brown sublateral band . The larvae are polyphagous on various wild herbaceous plants.
44.
The larvae are polyphagous and feed on various trees, shrubs and low plants, including " Corylus avellana " and " Crataegus " species.
45.
Polyphagous species such as " E . decedens " represent a potential problem if they are introduced into new areas because they can shift to new food plants.
46.
"Pomacea canaliculata " is extremely polyphagous, feeding on vegetal ( primarily macrophytophagous, feeding on floating or submersed higher plants ), detrital, and animal matter.
47.
The larvae are polyphagous and have been recorded feeding on " Vaccinium " and " Luzula " species, as well as " Veratrum album ".
48.
Even the fall webworm, an abundant and highly polyphagous tree-feeding species that has spread from North America to Asia and Europe, does not do lasting damage to healthy hosts.
49.
Polyphagous species ( animals that eat plants from many different families ), on the other hand, produce more detoxyfying enzymes ( specifically MFO ) to deal with a range of plant chemical defenses.
50.
Utilizing the chemicals directly from diet is advantageous as the larva will always be a chemical match to the plant it is actually feeding on ( the species is highly polyphagous-see below ).
