Bionomics
The larva feeds inside the nuts of the host plant. When the nuts fall, it vacates the nut and constructs a cocoon in which it hibernates. The larval stage may last for two years. Pupation takes place in a cocoon spun in the soil, in litter, in rotten wood or under bark or moss.
The moths are active in the evening and later come to light.
