Larval foods

Larvae of extinct northern populations ate mostly, probably virtually entirely, witch-hazel (Hamamelis). Southern extant populations are associated with witch hazel as well, but some might use Fothergilla.[2]

Adult foods

Adults of this genus often visit sap flows of maples and birches. They almost certainly depend heavily on red maple flowers.[3]
