So…ok, I’m missing something, then. How does the population get energy into the system, then? They don’t photosynthesize, somebody has to eat SOMEthing at SOME point, or they won’t have any energy at all for…activities.

I hear they gather the energy during the caterpillar stage.

I googled it. They have energy stored from when they were caterpillars.

The caterpillar stage.
Wikipedia says it’s 6-7 weeks long.
