A fairly common species throughout Belgium.
Native
The larva makes white blotches on the leaves of the food plants. The larvae of the summer generation feed on the blossom and seed-pods. Larvae of the spring generation pupate in detritus on the ground, those of the summer generation in the flower-heads of Anthyllis and perhaps the other food plants.
The adults come to light.
The adults have two generations per year: May-June and again in August, sometimes later.
The larva lives on the leaves of: Anthyllis, Onobrychis and Trifolium species.
