Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Plant Associates: Carya glabra, C. tomentosa, C. carolinae-septentrionalis, C. aquatica, C. ovata, and other species of Carya (Dietrich & Dmitriev, 2006)
Behavior:
Comment: Most Eratoneura species have very similar colorations, consisting of orange to red wing and body markings that contrasts with a yellowish-white base color. Patterns can vary within species, and therefore assigning an ID based off of visual characteristics alone for many species is essentially a guessing game. Dissection of specimens, with examination of male genitalia, is the only way to identify a majority of Eratoneura species.
