Habitats and Life History
Habitats: North Carolina populations are associated with a wide range of pine stands and mixed pine-hardwood forests.
Larval Host Plants: Larvae feed on pines, including Pitch Pine in the North (Wagner et al., 2011). North Carolina populations have been found in Pond Pine Woodlands and also in areas where Longleaf or Loblolly are he dominant species. Piedmont populations come from areas where Shortleaf Pine is prevalent. The species of pines associated with montane populations of the moth are unclear. - View
