Anatrytonopsis hianna is a year-round resident in the eastern United States, north into Manitoba, Canada and in several small separate populations in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas (Scott 1986). Habitats are Gulf Coast to transition zone open dry fields, open woodland and prairie gulches. Host plants are grasses restricted to genus Andropogon. Individuals overwinter as mature larvae. There is one flight each year with the approximate flight time late May-June 15 in the northern part of their range, one flight April 15-May 15 in the southern part of their range, and multiple flights all year in Florida (Scott 1986).
