silene acaulis

They feed on flower nectar of various flowers, but mainly Silene acaulis.

Adults are predominantly nocturnal but also fly during the day and feed on nectar of Silene acaulis.

Among the flora present are the Androsace Vandelli, which is found at 2,800 meters, and the Silene acaulis.

Silene acaulis (Moss Campion)

In Maine it is possibly extirpated, and in New Hampshire Silene acaulis var.

Associated plant species include Claytonia megarhiza, Kobresia sp., Oxyria digyna, and Silene acaulis.

A few basiphilous species occur locally on cliffs, including Draba incana, Saxifraga oppositifolia, Saussurea alpina, and Silene acaulis.

Adults feed on Dryas octopetala and Silene acaulis in the Ogilvie Mountains and a Saxifraga species in the Richardson Mountains.

Species exhibiting altitudinal descent in the Outer Hebrides include Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Polygonum viviparum, Oxyria digyna, Salix herbacea, Saxifraga oppositifolia, Sedum rosea, and Silene acaulis (Currie 1979).
