A fairly common species throughout Belgium, especially in the northern part.
Native
The larva lives in a leaf spun into a pod on several Salix species. When full-fed the larva spins a cocoon amongst leaf-litter in which it hibernates.
Pupation takes place in that cocoon.
The adults fly at dusk and later occasionally come to light.
The adults have been observed from early May till the end of August.
The larva lives in several Salix species, but not on Salix repens.
