It is native to North America, with confirmed records from Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and South Carolina. Adult moths of this species have been observed in flight between the months of April and October. The larvae of Eoparargyractis plevie are aquatic. They have been documented feeding on Lobelia dortmanna, Isoetes tuckermani, and Isoetes muricata. These larvae have yellow heads, and full-grown individuals reach a length of 11 millimeters. Larvae have been recorded from August through mid-November. The species spends the winter in its larval stage. Pupation occurs inside a cocoon that the larva spins on a leaf at the base of the host plant's rosette.
