Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Larval Host Plants: Larvae are reported to feed on River Birch (Betula nigra) (Neunzig, 1975). River Birch is not typically found in Ashe County where this species has been collected, but a number had been planted near the collection site. It is also possible that another species of birch (such as Betula alleghaniensis or B. lenta) could be serving as a host in North Carolina. - View
