Let me know what you're able to find out, Melanie! I looked it up on HOSTS and turns out that Mentha species are a larval host plant for it, so I'm going to have to look for eggs and tiny caterpillars now! Wasn't able to find any indication that it's particularly destructive--hopefully just feeds on its host plant and then flies around looking pretty. ;-)
