Generalist butterflies are characterized by a broad host repertoire that can comprise several families or even different orders of plants. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the use such wide range still not fully understood. Earlier studies indicate consumption plants is associated with host-specific gene expression profiles. It remained, however, unclear if how larvae alter these profiles in case changing environment.
