Genau genommen noch unbekannt! Stallings & Turner (1958: 127) teilen mit: “The food plant is a medium-sizes Agave plant, very succulent, that prefers to grow on the sheer sides of the rocky hills of the area. To reach the plants and secure the larvae is no easy matter. (This plant may prove not to be a true Agave.) The juice of this plant, like many of the Agave, is highly irritating to the skin, like Poison Ivy.”
