Native
The larva lives between spun leaves or in a pod. The adults come to light.
The first generation will appear at the end of April and during May, the second generation in late July and August is less visible.
The caterpillars feed on Salix repens.
It inhabits dunes, dry pastures, sandy shorelines and heather moors.
