Who it feeds
- Caterpillars About 83 kinds of native butterflies and moths raise their caterpillars on Solidago, going by the median county in a nationwide study. Caterpillars are what songbirds feed their chicks. Source
- Specialist bees 40 bee species in the eastern U.S. gather pollen from only a few plant groups, and Solidago is one of them. Source
