Habitats and Life History
Habitats: The use of Dock and Plantain suggest that ruderal or other early successional habitats could be used. However, our records come mainly from mesic-to-wet forests, which is more consistent with the use of Common Climbing Buckwheat.
Larval Host Plants: Larvae have been reported on Dock, Common Climbing Buckwheat, and Plantain (Robinson et al., 2010; Wagner et al., 2011) - View
