Comments: Very seldom in any kind of natural setting in most of its range, most typically weedy backyards, vacant lots, landfills, edges of croplands; any place where its weedy annual foodplants grow in the open. Can occur in the earliest stages of old field succession and in unnatural persistent grasslands such as edges of pastures. Apparently from comments in Scott (1986) can occur in more natural settings such as gulches in the southwest.
