Thanks Yurika,
This sure looks close.
I don't think there were any oaks in the immediate vicinity of this hill prairie. (Lots of cedars though.)
Yesterday I gave it a little piece of mountain mint, Pycnanthemum sp., and it's been on that for a day, still alive, but I'll add some oak.
Thanks.

Personally
I found adult on black locust and evening primrose before. So, maybe it's not that picky. Good luck on raising!

Mountain mint
I added oak 9-22-13 but it is still in the same place on the mountain mint which was added 9-22-13. I thought maybe it was dead so just gave it a nudge and it moved. It must be getting some nutrients otherwise it certainly wouldn't still be alive for 4 days. But, I don't know.
