      Looks like most of the records (some might be old) are from Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.

      The larval host plant is ash (Fraxinus) so it could become more uncommon as the emerald ash borer spreads.       Posted 4 years ago

      It does look edible. Kind of like chocolate, coffee, and cream. Posted 4 years ago
