Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Nearly all of our records come from riparian habitats in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain where River Birch is a common species. One record comes from a high elevation site in Avery County where River Birch is less likely to occur, although it has been recorded in that county.
Larval Host Plants: There are limited larval records for this recently described species, but it was suspected to feed primarily or exclusively on River Birch (Betula nigra), based on the location of most records and the fact that its close sibling, Peridea ferruginea, is a specialist on birches (Miller et al., 2018). There are two recent BugGuide records from George Smiley showing larvae feeding on River Birch in Texas. - View

Comment: feeding on River Birch; apparently the first larval record in NC, and surprisingly the first larval images on iNaturalist; it isn't a common species, but it seems like someone should have seen one by now
