Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Larval Host Plants: Larvae feed on honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), including Limber Honeysuckle (L. dioica). Reports from various hardwoods (Robinson et al., 2010) are questionable and require verification. Limber Honeysuckle is restricted to the mountains in North Carolina, so other species of Lonicera must be used elsewhere. - View
