Habits
The male flies in a zigzag pattern—often high up in search of females—and is active during the day or at night. Males occasionally come to light (Waring et al., 2003). In New Brunswick, Canada, adult males are attracted to pheromone traps set in commercial forests for White-marked Tussock Moth (O. leucostigma) (Carter, 2004).
The caterpillar is a minor forest pest in North America (Carter, 2004), and may become a pest in cities in the UK (de Worms, 1979; Porter, 1997).
