The Green Zebra Moth is an early spring emergent species that is found in North America from southwestern BC ("primarily west of the Cascades") to California (Crabo et al. 2012). Crabo et al. indicate that it is a food plant specialist: "This species is a foodplant specialist feeding primarily on Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in the Pinaceae.".
