A fairly common species throughout Belgium.
Native
The larva lives in a cone on a conifer, inhibiting its development and causing it to fall prematurely. The larva lives probably two years. Pupation in the cone.
The adults fly at dusk and later come to light.
The adults fly from onwards from May till mid-September, occasionally later.
