FOODPLANTS OF SPHINGID^E IN WISCONSIN

For the past twenty-five years I have been taking one or two specimens of Sphinx kalmise (J. E. Smith) each year at Hazelhurst, Wisconsin, but have not been able to locate it's food plant. This summer I found two freshly hatched larvae on Diervilla lonicera. These were brought to maturity and are now in the pupa stage. A few years; ago I found a half grown larva of Darapsa pholus (Cramer) on Huckleberry and a larva of Amphion nessas (Cram.) on Fire Weed, Epilohium angustifolium. I have also raised several broods of Sphinx gordius (Cramer) on Alder, Alnus incana. I am not sure that these food plants are a matter of record but present them for comment.
