This #hostplant making its way up a tree trunk feeds the caterpiggles of 6 different moths #midwesternnative #shadelover

Redder and redder by the day, but so hard to photograph! #foliagefriday

This backlighting helps it show up better. It's turning red on the 3-pronged tree right in the middle. #greatcolor #midwesternnative

What is it a host plant for? I didn't know that.

The Virginia Crepper Sphinx, the Virginia Creeper Clearwing, and the coveted Eight-Spotted Forester, @sushiwaitress -- there are at least 2 others but I forget what they are. All are moths though.
