A fairly common species present in most areas of Belgium, more observations in the north.
Native
The larva at first lives in a slight web on the underside of a leaf of the food plats. Later on, it constructs a chamber between spun leaves as a base from which to feed on the surrounding foliage.
Pupation in the leaves, or in a slight cocoon on the ground.
The adults hibernate. They are active from dusk onwards and later frequently come to light.
The adults fly from early June towards autumn and after overwintering reappearing till May.
The larva at first lives on Fagus, Carpinus, Acer pseudoplatanus or A. campestre.
It is widely spread.
