Habitats and Life History
Habitats: Our two records for this species come from Spruce-fir Forests, where the species is more likely to be a rare stray rather than a resident.
Larval Host Plants: Larvae have recorded on Showy Milkwort (Asemeia grandiflora) (Robinson et al., 2010), which is rare in North Carolina and restricted to the Sandhills region. We do not have any feeding records in North Carolina. - View
