The plant serves as a larval host for the snowberry clearwing (Hemaris diffinis), [10] which is a pollinator that resembles a small hummingbird. [11] It is also a host plant for the dogbane tiger moth (Cycnia tenera) and the zebra caterpillar (Melanchra picta).

Hoverflies are flies that often hover over the plants they visit. This hovering behaviour is unlike that of hummingbirds since they do not feed in midair. Hovering in general may be a means of finding a food source; in addition, male hovering is often a territorial display seeking females, [13] while female hovering serves to inspect ovipositing sites.
