Habitat
Leaves of trees, particularly lower foliage within 1 meter of the ground
Distribution
North America; documented in Washington State
Diet
Leaf tissue of Prunus ; larvae are leaf-miners
Host Associations
- Prunus emarginata - confirmed for S. histrionica
- Prunus - -level association hypothesized
Life Cycle
deposited on leaf margin; larval stages feed as leaf-miners within leaf tissue; and stages presumably follow typical pattern
Behavior
Females exhibit precise oviposition site selection, depositing preferentially on the margin of the basal third of leaves and selecting leaves within 1 meter of the ground
Ecological Role
Leaf-mining herbivore on Prunus trees
