Comparison of color distribution among caterpillars fed willow vs. birch leaves on intact branches either for their entire life or transferred at a particular larval instar.

Comparison of color distribution among caterpillars fed willow vs. birch leaves on intact branches either for their entire life or transferred at a particular larval instar.

本数据集对比了取食完整枝条上柳树叶片与桦树叶片的蝶蛾幼虫（caterpillars）的体色分布，所有受试幼虫的饲养模式分为两类：一类全程以对应叶片为食，另一类则在特定幼虫龄期（larval instar）完成寄主转移。
