It is found throughout New England south to Florida and west to Texas and Missouri. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794.[2] They can be seen flying from late March to early October. Adults are nocturnal and are attracted to lights.[3] The immature caterpillars can be found feeding on Magnolia, Asimina, Populus, Sassafras and Liriodendron.[4] IdentificationWith a wingspan of 43–55 mm, E. hortaria is one of the larger geometer moths.[5] There are two forms, one being "Dendraria" and the other being "Carbonaria". The Dendraria has a broader median with subterminal lines while the Carbonaria is darker with white edging.[3] The thick bodied caterpillar has a swollen 3rd thoracic segment. The caterpillar is gray to brown with darker markings, faint pinstripes and orange spiracles.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title= Epimecis hortaria Fabricius 1794|website=Encyclopedia of Life |url=http://www.eol.org/pages/349686|accessdate=2009-12-16}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3055761}}2. ^1 {{cite book|title=Field Guide to Insects and Spiders of North America |first=Arthur V. |last= Evans |publisher= Sterling Publishing Co., Inc |page= 320 |year= 2007 |isbn= 978-1-4027-4153-1}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Species Epimecis hortaria – Tulip-tree Beauty – Hodges#6599 |website=BugGuide |url=http://bugguide.net/node/view/564 |accessdate=2009-12-16}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Epimecis hortaria|url=http://www.dallasbutterflies.com/Moths/html/epimecis%20hortaria.htm|accessdate=2009-12-16}} 5. ^{{cite web|title= Species Detail Butterflies and Moths of North America|url=http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=6013|accessdate=2009-12-16}} 4 : Boarmiini|Moths of North America|Moths described in 1794|Taxa named by Johan Christian Fabricius |
