Notes: This species with an affinity for Brassicaceae (Hurd 1979; Wood & Roberts 2018) has been collected in Connecticut from exotic weeds such as hairy bittercress ( Cardamine hirsuta ) and yellow rocket ( Barbarea vulgaris ), and from intentionally planted mizuna ( Brassica rapa ). It has been found on agricultural land, school grounds, and in suburban settings with forest remnants.
