Habitats and Life History
Habitats: We have records from a bog situated within a montane stream valley; willows are present but poplars could also occur.
Larval Host Plants: Larvae feed mainly on poplars (Populus sp.) but also on willow (Salix) to some extent (Wagner, 2005). We do not have any feeding records in North Carolina. - View
