Larval development sites were found in proximity of dead wood of the allochthonous "Quercus rubra". The larvae feed on "Quercus robur", "Quercus petraea" and "Quercus rubra". There is as also a Red Oak ("Quercus rubra") close to these maples. "Quercus rubra" is grown in parks and large gardens as a specimen tree. An example could be mixed northern red oak ("Quercus rubra") and white oak ("Quercus alba").
