Hesperia metea is a year-round resident of the eastern United States, with the exception of the midwest (Scott 1986). Habitats are dry grassy places in woods. Host plants are grasses restricted to genus Andropogon. Eggs are laid on or near the host plant singly. Individuals overwinter as mature larvae. There is one flight each year with the approximate flight time May 15- June 15 in the northern part of the range and March 15- April 15 in the most southern part of their range (Scott 1986).
