Description
Arphia conspersa Scudder, 1875
Arphia conspersa: Vickery & Kevan, 1983: 929; Vickery, 1984: 22; Berman et al., 1995: 4; Vickery, 1997: 229; Haberski et al., 2021: 33.
Remarks. This species ranges north to Alaska, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, east to the Great Lakes and south to Mexico. In the northern regions, A. conspersa appears in spring as it passes the winter as late instar nymphs therefore the two-year life-cycle occurs in north while in the southern parts of its range, the species may have one generation per year. It occupies forest clearings and grassland, generally on sandy or gravelly soils (Vickery & Kevan, 1983).
