The larva of the second brood hibernates. Pupation in the larval habitation or between freshly spun leaves.
The adults are active at dusk and later come to light.
The adults fly in two generations per year which may sometimes overlap, from the end of May till the beginning of July, and from August till early October. Most observations are during June and August.
