Bent-line Gray
Iridopsis larvaria
Habitat 6
Primarily a species of mixed wood and deciduous boreal forests in Alberta.
Life cycle 7
Wagner et al. (2001) illustrate the larva, and McGuffin (1977) gives a detailed description of all immature stages. The larva rests with the body arched up and the thoracic legs on the substrate (Wagner et al 2001). Hibernation is as a pupa, and adults are nocturnal and come to light.
