A rather rare species in the southern part of Belgium.
Native
The adults are active during daytime and can be observed in flowerheads, sometimes in numbers. This has probably led to the assumption that these plants are foodplants of the caterpillar.
One generation a year: from late May till the end of June.
The larva probably lives on mosses, e.g. Tortula muralis. Earlier records of food plants like: Helianthemum, Hypericum, Sedum need confirmation.
