Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Our one record comes from a site located within a large area of natural sandhills habitat. Although some of the recorded host plants for this species occur in that area, it is not clear whether this species is solely a migrant in our area or associated primarily with croplands
Larval Host Plants:
Larvae feed on a wide variety of Legumes, including Astragalus, Baptisia, Crotalaria, Glycine, Lathyrus, Lupinus, Lotus, Phaseolus, Robinia, Tephrosia, Vicia, and Vigna (Robinson et al., 2010); a number of other families of plants are also used to come extent. -
