Larval Host Plants: Telamoptilia hibiscivora was thought to be a specialist on Hibiscus species, but was found in North Carolina using Seaside Mallow (Kosteletzkya pentacarpos). Both taxa are members of the Malvaceae. Populations in North Carolina have also been documented using Hibiscus moscheutos. - View
