Polites sabuleti last instar caterpillar crawls out of a subterranean nest on host Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis). Grass-feeding skippers of the genera Hesperia, Polites, Atalopedes, Hylephila, and Pseudocopaeodes construct subterranean or very short nests on bunch grasses. They are VERY difficult to locate. This strategy differs greatly from the more conpsicuous nests of Ochlodes, Poanes, Amblyscirtes, Ancyloxypha, Wallengrenia, Thymelicus, Lerodea, and Copaeodes on tall, larger bladed grasses.
