The larvae feed on Carya species, including Carya illinoensis. Late stage larvae feed on the terminal leaflets of their host plant. They pull together the three most external leaflets with silk. They then construct a tube of frass and silk which is attached to the underside of the midrib of the central leaflet. They then feed on the three leaflets. Pupation takes place in a pupal chamber which is constructed at the end of the tube.[2]
