Hosts include a wide range of broad-leaved trees such as oak
(Quercus), maple (Acer), ash (Fraxinus), birch
(Betula), apple (Malus), cherry (Prunus), other
fruit trees, and conifers such as pine (Pinus),
spruce (Picea), fir (Abies) and larch (Larix). The
larvae are found mainly on oak in Britain. In continental Europe the nun moth
causes more damage than any other forest defoliator.
This species does not occur in North America.
