The larva lives in the wood of deciduous trees such as maple, oak, 

 and apple. Adults are often taken by beating the foliage of oak, or 

 by "sugaring" at light or on the bark or at the base of the trees 

 mentioned. The species exhibits considerable variation in size and color. 

 Specimens vary from deep chestnut to pale reddish brown.
