- Observation Median moth herbivory per pitcher plant clump was 86–100% at burned sites.
- Observation Median herbivory per clump at other sites was 50–75%, apart from the unburned pocosin site.
- Observation Herbivory per clump was lowest at the unburned pocosin site, at 32%.
- Association Herbivory per clump differed by site, although other habitat factors could contribute.
- Observation Median trumpet heights were tallest at unburned sites.
- Observation The authors infer that the moth persists as a metapopulation.
