OK, I know that they enter a period of dormancy in the winter, but on
sunny days they can be active. Even at night they may be attracted to
lights in your home. When they have these temporary active periods,
what do they feed on? They need food for energy, but we do not have
house plants and I have never seen them on the fresh fruits we keep on
the kitchen counter. Researched the web but could find no answer to
this specific question. Thanks

Besides what other poster referenced, I've seen them on my pepper plants
and chestnut trees. Here in northern DE, their invasion is getting
worse and rest of country will see joy in having them around in years to
come.
