Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
In North Carolina, Arabis species are associated with outrcops of mafic rock and are restricted to the Mountains. Cardamine species, on the other hand, have extensive populations in the bottomlands along brownwater streams and their adjoining slopes. Based on the other spring ephemerals that have been recorded as pollen sources, rich bottomlands are likely to be the primary habitat used by this species. Some use of more open habitats -- including rock outcrops -- is also possible.
Larval Host Plants:
Considered a specialist pollinator on Arabis and Cardamine species, two members of the Brassicaceae (Fowler and Droege, accessed 2019-12-14). Several other spring ephemerals are listed as pollen sources by Discover Life (accessed 2021-12-08). These include Erythronium, Hepatica, Claytonia, and Trillium.
