A resident species, whose larvae are often fairly common and sometimes common in shrubby places in the West; less numerous in the East. Widespread and perhaps generally distributed. Double-brooded, flying mainly from mid-April to early June and again from late June to late August. Larvae feed on lilac, ash and privet. (Pratt, 2011)
