Abstract
The larvae of Euphydryas editha in Gunnison County, Colorado, feed on Castilleja linariifolia . Two related plants, C. chromosa and Penstemon strictus , occur in the same area and are equally nutritious, but are not eaten. Restriction to C. linariifolia appears to be a case of ecological monophagy — survival on the other two species is less likely not because of their biochemical make-up but because of their ecological characteristics, primarily their phenologies.
