Welcome to the new Ohio Lepidopterists’ website! Ohio Leps is moving into the 21st century with new features, starting with our annual meeting. Covid has changed all our lives and in person meetings are just not possible or safe. So, we are bringing the annual meeting to you!
We will be live streaming our annual meeting in a different format than usual. Instead of a day long meeting, we will break it up into monthly webinars. Our first webinar will be Sam Jaffe, Director of the caterpillar lab. Sam is a dynamic and very knowledgeable speaker. In fact he spoke at the 2019 annual meeting. However, because of a huge snowstorm, many couldn’t make it. So, another benefit to a live streaming meeting!

Hop Merchant butterfly.
My fascination with leps is is in growing host plants for leps. I just received Cascade Hop roots. It will be a couple of years before the plants are fully grown, but at that time I would love to use them as hosts for the Hop Merchant butterfly. How will I get larvae for the butterfly at that time? I also have Aristolochia durier vines started, so a source for Pipevine Swallowtails would be appreciated. Neither species is common in East-Central Ohio. Do you have a subgroup of members who specialize in growing host plants? If so, I should join that group. I am also a member of Ohio Native Plants and am posing the same questions to them. Also, please checxk me membership status, I don’t want it to have lapsed.
