Isorhipis obliqua

Isorhipis obliqua (Say, 1836) Collection information. USA: Georgia: Clarke Co.: 866 individuals from 38 sites. Caught in flight trap from 21 April – 11 August 2020. Distribution. Eastern North America. Saproxylic habits. Larvae develop in the heartwood of decayed hardwoods (e. g., maple; Peterson 1960), and have emerged from dry, dead wood of various hardwoods (Knull 1946; Muona 2000); associated with moderately decayed logs (Ferro et al. 2012 a). Conservation. Significantly higher abundance in secondary (= second-growth) than primary (= old-growth) forests in the southern Appalachian Mountains (Ferro et al. 2012 a); significantly associated with old forests (predating 1938 and oak dominated) in the Piedmont (Traylor et al. 2023 a).
