A very rare and local species in Belgium. First observation this century in 2023 at NA.
Native
Hibernates as an egg and pupates in a cocoon among debris on the ground.
They are active from dusk onwards when they visit flowers of Eupatorium cannabinum, Centranthus ruber and Solidago. They come sparsely to light, but are more attracted to sugar.
The adults fly from mid-July till the end of August.
The larva lives on Vicia and especially on V. cracca.
