Wow- thank you, Calosoma. I may have specific questions for you as I poke into this more. As a person with a plant background, I need to spend time learning more about the insects.
Out of curiosity, did you find any herbivores feeding on Japanese stiltgrass?
And very interesting detail about the compounds being stored in the vacuoles- I hadn’t heard of that type of avoidance, but it makes sense.
