It is found in North America from Texas (south) to Alberta (northwest) and east to the Atlantic coast.[1][2] It is recorded infrequently in Great Britain through accidental importation in asparagus.[3]
The wingspan is 35–40 mm. They are on wing from late May to August.[4] one generation per year.
The larvae feed on elm, apple, birch, maple, and oak.
