Agonopterix alstroemeriana it was discovered near Columbus, Ohio. It was established in Illinois in 1993, after being identified by the rolled leaves of "Conium maculatum," a characteristic indication of the presence of "A. alstroemeriana." The poison hemlock moth can be found wherever its host plant ("Conium maculatum") occurs. Thus, the moth is most commonly seen in open fields and roadsides in suburban and rural locations.
