Caterpillars of Buckleria spp. (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) have a unique feeding habit of eating trap leaves of carnivorous sundew plants (Drosera spp.). We observed the foraging behavior of Buckleria paludum on trap leaves of Drosera spp. and discussed how the moth species avoided being caught by trap leaves. In 81.5% (66/81) of encounters with glandular hairs on adaxial surfaces of Drosera trap leaves, B. paludum larvae licked mucilage and crawled on the processed hairs. The frequency of licking mucilage was significantly higher than the frequency of other behaviors such as eating glandular hairs, chewing bases of them without eating and ignoring when encountering secreted mucilage. Licking mucilage enables the caterpillars to move safely on trap leaves and prevents bending of glandular hairs.

致命陷阱中的生活：Buckleria paludum 是一种食肉毛毡苔植物的专业食草动物，舔食腺体的粘液以进行防御

Buckleria spp 的毛虫。（鳞翅目：Pterophoridae）有一种独特的进食习性，会吃食肉植物茅膏菜（Drosera spp.）的陷阱叶。我们观察了 Buckleria paludum 在 Drosera spp 的诱捕叶上的觅食行为。并讨论了蛾类如何避免被诱捕叶捕获。在 81.5% (66/81) 的与茅膏菜叶正面腺毛的相遇中，B. paludum 幼虫舔舐粘液并在处理过的毛发上爬行。舔粘液的频率明显高于其他行为的频率，如吃腺毛、咀嚼腺毛根部不吃东西和遇到分泌的粘液时不理会。舔粘液使毛毛虫能够安全地在诱捕叶上移动并防止腺毛弯曲。
