Rarely observed in Belgium, only known from an old record in the province of Brabant and recent observations in Namur, where it's not uncommon. 

The larva lives in a spun leaf on Pimpinella saxifraga or Daucus, in spun flowers and seeds on Conopodium. It pupates in a cocoon amongst detritus.

The adults fly from August till beginning of May, and hibernate. They come to light and sugar.
