Ecology
Habitat
Common habitats for L. mariana is in pine flatwoods, savannas, pocosin-sandhill ecotones, and dry sandy woodlands.[3] Largely, these habitats occur in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain, Eastern Mountains, Great Plains, and the Northcentral and Northeast of the United States.[1] Specimens have been collected from habitats including dry sand oak woodland, pine flatwoods, thickets, dry sands in pine woodlands, wet flatwoods, dry sands near small ponds, cypress swamp edges, lakeside sand ridges, and pine palmetto flats.[4]
Conservation and Management
L. mariana has been classified as endangered in Pennsylvania, as of special concern in Connecticut, and is classified as historical in Rhode Island.[1]
