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 (Rumex spp.), Common Climbing Buckwheat (Fallopia scandens), and plantain (Plantago spp.) (Robinson et al., 2010; Wagner et al., 2011). - View
