A rather common species throughout Belgium.
Native
Hibernates as pupa in the ground.
They are active from dusk onwards and later come to light.
The adults fly from half May till late August, occasionally later.
The larva lives inside the seeds and on the flowers of several species of Galeiopsis, sometimes also on Stachys sylvatica or other herbaceous plants.
