Habitats and Life History
Habitats:
Our records come mainly from mesic hardwood forests but with one record from a rich levee forest. We do not have any records from dry sites with a mixture of pines, where Coral Honeysuckle can be common.
Larval Host Plants:
Larvae feed on Honeysuckles, including Bush Honeysuckle but perhaps not Japanese Honeysuckle (Wagner et al., 2001). Snowberry is used at least in the Pacific Northwest (Pacific Northwest Moths Website, accessed 2022-11-17). -
