What other host trees do these have? 

While the moths are gone- for this season. I will answer your question. A number of other tree species, Alnus rubra, (Alder), Ceanothus sp.,

Abies (fir) has been reported, I find that hard to  believe. Salix sp. (willow), there are apparently regional preferences to some extent as well.

I'm not really sure what they're eating in the wild, as most of the reported food plants are present in the locations I capture them.
