was why are there so many species—how do they avoid competitive displacement if they all feed on grasses? In fact many genera do not feed on grasses, but feed on other families of monocotyledons, such as

. Furthermore, especially in Africa, a significant number of genera feed on dicotyledonous plants, and it seems clear that at least two, perhaps more, groups of genera have evolved from an ancestor that made the food plant switch from monocotyledons back to dicotyledons. These groups and other

. Furthermore, entomologists tend to identify food plants as just “grass”, especially when it is a nonflowering grass, and the authors have had to resort to this sometimes for this work. Today, this could be addressed by collecting samples in silica gel or using FTA® paper (Whatman, Inc.) for subsequent DNA-based identification, even for non-flowering food plants (see discussion of methods and uses in

fit this description, although in all cases more field work is needed to clarify this. There may also be geographical, ecological or temporal differences in food plant utilisation, or preferred food plants, which will only become apparent as more detailed location-specific information becomes available. For example a particular food plant may be routinely used in one part of a skippers range but only when other food plants are unsuitable in another part. A further complication is that in captivity, caterpillars will often accept several different grasses—which makes rearing them easier, but there is the risk of food plants accepted in captivity entering the literature as natural food plants—which further collections may show them to be, but the original record is an artefact of captivity until confirmed from field observations and collections (

). Because many grass-feeders will accept a variety of grasses in captivity, this can be used to good effect, by rearing them from ova obtained from wild-caught females, and in this way the early stages can be documented, even if the natural food plant grasses are unknown (
