Bionomics

The larva feeds between spun leaves of young shoots, flowers and seeds of Lythrum salicaria. When disturbed, larvae quickly crawl backwards and often fall on the ground. Pupates in debris on the ground (in captivity also in the larval habitat). The adult hibernates.


Flight periods

The adults fly in two generations a year; in June and July and again from September till April. The moths are active at dusk and later occasionally come to light.
