A very rare and local species in Belgium, at present only known from the three southernmost provinces. This species is seldom seen, because of the rarity and the late flight period at the end of the year. 

The larva lives on various deciduous trees, but especially on Quercus and Acer. Overwinters as an egg.

The adults fly from half October till well into December, but most observations mainly at the end of November and early December. The males are attracted to light. The females are apterous.
