A natural host for the painted lady butterfly, this plant provides an excellent opportunity for scientific inquiry.
Students can explore such questions as:- Will caterpillars prefer the host plant to artificial diet?
- Is rate of development different on different plants?
- Are painted lady butterfllies particular about where they lay their eggs?
Note: A single mallow plant is not sufficient to feed larvae to adulthood. For raising larvae, use our item #144043 Painted Lady Culture Medium.
