Status

Most common on the western shore. Our only record from the Eastern Shore is a larval record from Kent County. Appears to be absent from the mid and lower Eastern Shore. Will come to lights. Considered diurnal like other Haploa species.

Description

One of four Haploa species with white hind wings. Can be identified by the dark line that runs diagonally from the middle of forewing margin down towards the inner tip of the forewing. This dark line often has a smaller dark line that will run perpendicular to just below the forewing apex. All white forms may be indistinguishable from other white form Haploa individuals.

Relationships

Like all Haploa species, larvae feed on a variety of woody and herbaceous plant species.
