Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Barrens, woodlands, and forests (Wagner, 2005). WE have records from essentially the entire spectrum of oak-hickory forests in the state, including maritime forests, bottomland forest, mesic slopes, dry-xeric sand ridges, cove forests, and high elevation hardwood forests.
Larval Host Plants: Larvae feed on oaks, and questionably on hickory (Wagner, 2005). In North Carolina, larvae have been recorded feeding on White Oak (Quercus alba), Pin Oak (Q. palustris), Willow Oak (Q. phellos), and Northern Red Oak (Q. rubra). - View
