Habitats and Life History
Habitats: North Carolina records come from a wide range of forested and shrubby habitats, including coastal fringe and inland sandridges, non-riverine swamp forests, mesic slopes, and dry ridges.
Diet: Larvae are twig pruners, feeding on the live twigs of many species of hardwood trees and shrubs (Yanega, 1996). Lingafelter (2007) notes that Oaks are favored but they also feed on Hawthorns, Sugarberries, and River Birch.
