In a three-hour bioassay, we tested the palatability and feeding preferences of Uresiphita maorialis(kōwhai moth) for Sophora tetraptera, Sophora microphyllaand Sophora prostrata. Palatability tests showed no differences among the Sophoraspecies. Feeding preferences, on the other hand, showed that S. tetrapteraand S. microphyllaleaves are preferred over S. prostrataleaves. Our results support our field observations in Wellington city parks and gardens showing that S. tetrapteraand S. microphyllaplants frequently have higher densities of larvae than S. prostrata. |
