<![CDATA[ An interesting observation. I would be hesistant to make a strong association with a foodplant based on the presence of pupae only - larvae are prone to wander when looking for pupation sites and may completely leave the larval foodplant. Were any larval leaf-mines noted on the Sea Arrow Grass? I ran the lepiforum.de page through the Google translator and it would appear that Sea Arrow Grass is noted only as a pupation site and not foodplant. I would expect to see some direct observation of the larvae with the foodplant before acknowledging it as a foodplant. It could be that it is not on either Sea Arrow Grass or Sea Aster but some other foodplant.
