Abundance Notes
This species is limited in its distribution to eastern North America from Maine to Florida and west to Texas and Manitoba. The larvae have been described from examples taken on citrus in Florida, but will probably be found on a wide variety of deciduous trees. On citrus they fed on mites, coccid crawlers and whiteflies. (Oliver Flint, 1/25/10)
