For larval food, most use the provisions and brood of native ground-nesting bees (esp.
Megachilidae &
Andrenidae); several genera (in our area,
Epicauta & Linsleya) use grasshopper eggs (Acridoidea)
(6). Adults feed on leaves and flowers of several families, incl. Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Solanaceae
