Citheronia Regalis...preferred food source?

[Discord]

Could anyone tell me the preferred food source of this moth?  I captured a
larva (Citheronia Regalis) this weekend on a tree/plant that looks
remarkably like poison ivy but more treelike (it apparantly is not :) thank
goodness!! ).  I have placed some Hickory and English Walnut in the cage.
It does not seem to be too interested in either.  I will try some sweetgum
tomorrow.  Unfortunately I am nowhere near the original food plant.  Any
insight into the possible identification of the original foodplant or a
viable alternative source of food would be much appreciated!

Thank You!

Adrian
