I wonder if it because in some areas they have to crawl from plant to plant to find food if that food source is 'swan flower'. Here's a little story about that unusual looking member of the pipevine family: <br /><br />http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2222200/plant-id-native?n=11<br /><br />I have about 25 or 30 aristolochia fimbriata plants for the caterpillars. They keep me busy moving them from a plant when they've eaten one down to the nubs to one that has more foliage.
