Lomographa bimaculata caterpillars feed on "Prunus" species – including bird cherry ("Prunus padus") and blackthorn ("Prunus spinosa") – as well as on hawthorns ("Crataegus"). Junior synonyms of the white-pinion spotted include: Lomographa bimaculata Lomographa bimaculata, the white-pinion spotted, is a species of geometer moth (family Geometridae). It belongs to the large geometer moth subfamily Ennominae, and therein to the tribe Baptini. It is – under its junior synonym – the type species of its genus "Lomographa". It is also (under its original name "Phalaena bimaculata") the type species of "Bapta", a junior objective synonym of "Lomographa" and the namesake of the Baptini.
Prunus simonii is particularly aromatic, much more so than "Prunus salicina", with a comparatively high level of hexyl acetate, which gives apples their aroma. Plant breeder Luther Burbank devoted a lot of work to hybridizing this species with the Japanese plum ("Prunus salicina") and developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid. Of these, the cultivar 'Climax' was particularly notable for its importance to the fruit shipping industry of California. Other influential plum cultivars that Burbank developed with "P. simonii" ancestry include 'Maynard', 'Chalco', 'Santa Rosa', and 'Formosa'. Those two species and the European species "Prunus cerasifera" have contributed the majority of
