Host plant...
...is a species of Rubus. There are 55 species of Rubus in Massachusetts. The sprawling, viny habit of this one marks it as a "dewberry", of which there are 16 species in Massachusetts.

55?
Has there been a lot of splitting recently? The county checklist of vascular plants put out by the MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (1999; a revised version is supposed to be out soon) lists 23 Rubus spp., of which five are called dewberries, though there may be some that they call blackberries that are actually dewberries by that definition. Oddly, this one that seems to be a Massachusetts endemic is not on the state's own list.

Yes
I counted the number of full species on a state search for Rubus in Massachusetts in the USDA PLANTS database to get that number. A revision of the Rubus flora in Iowa (Widrlechner 1998; Castanea 63(4):415-465) using the taxonomy of Davis (1990; Castanea 55:22-30) for the eastern U.S., resulted in our species count going from 7 to 28.
