    Reproduction Comments
    Adults are most active in early spring, typically in April and May, although they may be encountered in June as well, particularly at mid-elevation (e.g. 450 m (1476 ft.)) bogs (Bergdahl 2009, pers. comm.). Although the larvae probably take multiple years to develop (Johnson, 2008, pers. comm.), little is known about the seasonal activity of the larvae. The feeding habits of this species are unknown, but adults likely visit flowers and feed on honey dew, pollen, nectar, and floral structures. Extrafloral nectaries, including the exudates of new conifer growth, are another probable adult food source. Larvae probably predate on small insects (Johnson, 2008, pers. comm.).<br>
