my caterpillar's diet

My white marked tussock caterpillar eats orchard-like trees. I have a crab apple tree and a plumb tree. I put some crab apple leaves in my bug pavilion. I'm going to put some plumb leaves in there, too. I hope he'll spin a cocoon and turn into a moth!

This species also likes rose bush leaves.
Did you know many people are allergic to the hairs of this critter?
That is why I like to take a bite of dark chocolate every day to develop an immunity to monsters like this.
