have been recorded feeding on a number of things other than from flowers or
honeydew: water (Speight 2000), sweat (Bänziger 1996), and from stems and
leaves (Katsura K 1996 [Interesting behaviour of Leucozona lucorum]. Hana Abu
2: 12). The last is probably the closest to your observation - Katsura
described and photographed Leucozona lucorum feeding from the stems and undersides
of leaves of Lugularia fischeri.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
