<h2>Key Characteristics</h2> <p>This small- to medium-sized moth has a wingspan of 3.0 to 3.6 cm. The interior of the forewing is mostly yellowish, with distinctly darker, almost brown sections on the outer portion of the forewings. Spots around the reniform are yellow, as opposed to white in other species of <em>Papaipema</em>, and the two inner spots are angulate in shape. The orbicular and claviform spots can vary from yellow to white. A dark colored and straight postmedial line runs across the forewing. The hindwings are generally a pale cream color which darken towards the outer edge of the wing.</p> </div> <div id="status-rank" class="description full"> <h2>Status and Rank</h2> <p> <span>US Status: </span>No Status/Not Listed<br /> <span>State Status: </span>SC - Special Concern (rare or uncertain; not legally protected)<br /> <span>Global Rank: </span>G3? - Vulnerable (inexact)<br /> <span>State Rank: </span>SNR - Not ranked<br /> </p> </div> <div id="occurrences" class="description"> <h2>Occurrences</h2> <div id="map"></div> <div id="occurrences-table-wrap"> <table id="occurrences-table"> <thead><tr><th>County</th><th>Number of Occurrences</th><th>Year Last Observed</th></tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td>Cass</td> <td>5</td> <td>2005 </td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>Huron</td> <td>1</td> <td>2005 </td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>Jackson</td> <td>1</td> <td>1988 </td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>Lenawee</td> <td>1</td> <td>1980 </td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>St. Joseph</td> <td>1</td> <td>1980 </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p>Information is summarized from MNFI's database of rare species and community occurrences. Data may not reflect true distribution since much of the state has not been thoroughly surveyed.</p> </div> <div class="description"> <h2 class="section">Habitat</h2> <p>Generally found in rich deciduous forested habitats, this species occupies much of eastern North America north of the Appalachian Mountains. It is primarily found in habitats that support abundant populations of its host plant, stoneroot (<em>Collinsonia canadensis</em>) (Schweitzer at al. 2011), where it bores into the rootstock and lower stems of the plant. In Michigan, stoneroot is most prevalent in mesic southern forest and dry-mesic southern forest. Although stoneroot can be found in drier conditions, these plants are generally too small or in too few numbers to support this moth species.</p> </div> <div class="description"> <h2 class="section">Natural Community Types</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/communities/description/10685/dry-mesic-southern-forest">Dry-mesic southern forest</a></li> <li><a href="/communities/description/10684/mesic-southern-forest">Mesic southern forest</a></li> </ul> <button id="methodology-toggle">Methodology</button> <div id="methodology-text"> <p>For each species, lists of natural communities were derived from review of the nearly 6,500 element occurrences in the MNFI database, in addition to herbarium label data for some taxa. In most cases, at least one specimen record exists for each listed natural community. For certain taxa, especially poorly collected or extirpated species of prairie and savanna habitats, natural community lists were derived from inferences from collection sites and habitat preferences in immediately adjacent states (particularly Indiana and Illinois). Natural communities are not listed for those species documented only from altered or ruderal habitats in Michigan, especially for taxa that occur in a variety of habitats outside of the state.</p> <p>Natural communities are not listed in order of frequency of occurrence, but are rather derived from the full set of natural communities, organized by Ecological Group. In many cases, the general habitat descriptions should provide greater clarity and direction to the surveyor. In future versions of the Rare Species Explorer, we hope to incorporate natural community fidelity ranks for each taxon.</p> </div> </div> <div class="description"> <h2 class="section">Management Recommendations</h2> <p>Maintaining the natural habitat of the Astute stoneroot borer moth will promote the long-term viability of populations of this species. Management activities that minimize the impact on populations of stoneroot in mesic forests are necessary. Avoid disturbing stoneroot populations in the ground layer. This may include removing invasive plant species and/or avoiding construction of trails and paths through patches of stoneroot. Deer are a primary concern due to excessive browsing during the late spring and throughout summer. Repeated browsing can kill host plants or reduce them to ankle-high sprigs with very few leaves (Schweitzer at al. 2011). Sites where the stoneroot borer moth is found to be extant should be protected and managed appropriately including maintaining healthy, viable populations of the host plants. Surveys to find additional populations and determine the status, abundance and distribution of this species in the state are needed.</p> </div> <div class="description"> <h2 class="section">Active Period</h2> <p>Flight from fourth week of August to first week of October</p> </div> <div id="survey-methods" class="description"> <h2 class="section">Survey Methods</h2> <p>The best way to survey for this species is by blacklighting, a technique where a sheet is stretched across two trees or poles and an ultraviolet light is used to attract moths to the sheet. Moths can be collected directly from the sheet. Insects come to light usually in largest numbers on still, dark, cloudy nights when both temperature and humidity are high (Hessel 1954). This species is difficult to identify in the wild. It is strongly recommended that observations of this species be verified through actual specimen vouchers or verification by a species expert. Blacklighting for this species should occur in mesic hardwood forests where the host plant is abundant (usually 100+ stoneroot plants).</p> <h3>Blacklighting</h3> <p>Survey Period: From fourth week of August to first week of October</p> <p> Time of Day: Night<br> Humidity: Humid<br> Cloud Cover: Overcast<br> Wind: No Wind<br> </p> </div> <div id="references" class="description"> <h2 class="section">References</h2> <h3>Survey References</h3> <ul> <li>Covell, Charles.
