      Me too. The larvae feed on wild cherry and birch both of which are common in MN yet there is only one record of the species from here according to MPG http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=6818

      BAMONA has no records of it from MN or WI. It does seem to be better represented in the southern Appalachians and New England.       Posted 6 years ago
