Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Larval Host Plants: Larvae reportedly feed on oaks, including Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) (Robinson et al., 2010). There is a BugGuide record (George Smiley, 2023) of a larva reared from Overcup Oak (Q. lyrata) in Texas. In North Carolina, Live Oak would fit the location of our few records for the species, but larvae have not been observed. - View
