First observation for Belgium in 2014 in NA. Hitherto still a very rare species in the southern part of the country.
Native
Wingspan 10–12 mm.
The larva mines the leaves of the host plant. At first it makes small, full depth mines. Then the larva spun the leaflets together and continues mining.
The adults are on the wing from May towards late August.
The larvae live on Astragalus glycyphyllos and Colutea arborescens.
It inhabits semi-moist grassy meadows and edges along forest.
