Hello arano
The caterpillars feed on a very wide range of trees, both deciduous and coniferous. They spin cocoons in bark crevices. Outbreaks have been reported on Manitoba maple and elm in urban areas.1

The four white tufts on the caterpillar's back may mimic the cocoons of parasitic wasps.1

2

Large caterpillars are mostly eaten by birds, while small caterpillars mostly disappear while dispersing.1

3

The fungus Entomophaga maimaiga was introduced to North America to control the spongy moth, and it also infects this species.1

4

There are two or more generations each year in eastern North America, and the eggs overwinter.1
