Here in east Tennessee we find Mourning cloaks most frequently used
foodplant is Celtis sp.  They are rarely seen on any other host plant.
I have gotten specimens for AZ which would not touch any other foodplant
other than Salix.  So it appears are regional host relationships. 

These are just some observations I have made over the past few years.
