Larval host plants: Carya glabra , Celtis , Morus rubra , Prosopis juliflora , Quercus prinus and Salix ( Monné & Nearns 2022c)

Comments: Attracted to lights. Specific lures are unknown, however, Schmeelk et al. (2016) reported that this species was collected more often in traps (baited with a mixture of lures) set 12 m off the ground over traps at 1. 5 m off the ground. Apparently, one or more of the components of the Ray lab blend is an attractant.
