The larvae feed on Heracleum sphondylium.

Heracleum sphondylium subsp.

Heracleum sphondylium, Common Hogweed, is common in Europe.

Heracleum sphondylium is smaller in size than the skin irritating Heracleum mantegazzianum (Giant Hogweed).

Cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum), and hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) are also confused in this group with similar flower groupings.

Adults feed of nectar and pollen on Tanacetum vulgare, Angelica sylvestris and Heracleum sphondylium.

Except for size, it closely resembles common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Heracleum sosnowskyi or garden angelica (Angelica archangelica).

Heracleum sphondylium, common names hogweed or common hogweed, is a herbaceous perennial or biennial plant of the family Apiaceae, native to Europe and Asia.

The larvae feed on Anthriscus, Angelica, Peucedanum, Aegopodium, Pastinaca, Chaerophyllum and Heracleum sphondylium.

Adult feed on nectar and pollen of Apiaceae (mainly Heracleum sphondylium and Laserpitium latifolium), while larvae feed on Crataegus species.

The larvae feed on various Apiaceae species, including Aegopodium podagraria, Heracleum sphondylium, Peucedanum oreoselium, Peucedanum palustre and Angelica silvestris.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Heracleum juranum, Heracleum austriacum, Heracleum sphondylium, Meum athamanticum and Laserpitium latifolium.

Native Europe hog weeds Heracleum sphondylium and Heracleum sibiricum (Heracleum sphondylium subsp.

The larva feed on Aegopodium podagraria, Angelica silvestris, Angelica archangelica v. litoralis, Levisticum officinale, Heracleum sphondylium and Heracleum laciniatum.

There are reports that some makers of pimpinella root products "stretch" their product by secretly adding other herbs including Heracleum sphondylium (Masterwort), Heracleum mantegazzianum, and Pastinaca sativa (Parsnip).

Larvae have been recorded on Aconitum septentrionale, Heracleum sphondylium, Lactuca sativa, Pastinaca sativa, Taraxacum vulgare, Lupinus polyphyllus and Prunus padus.

A note to William Watson suggests that there might be a case of mistaken identity in an abstract he presented from the Flora Sibirica on Sphondylium vulgare hirsutum [i.e. Heracleum sphondylium ].

Cow parsnip (Heracleum lanatum, Heracleum maximum, Indian celery, or pushki, sometimes considered a subspecies of Heracleum sphondylium, hogweed or eltrot) is also confused with osha and other plants with similar flower groupings.
