A rather common but local species in Belgium.

The larva lives on Lonicera and on Symphoricarpus albus. It makes a very large, sometimes occupying a whole leaf, on the upperside of the leaf. The mine has a papery appearance. Pupation inside the mine in a large, strong dull green cocoon. Mined leaves rot away during the winter and little rests other than the strong cocoons.

The adults fly in two generations a year; during May and in August. They come to light.
