A rather common species throughout Belgium.
Native
Hibernates as pupa underground.
They are active from dusk onwards and are attracted to light.
The adults fly in two generations a year from mid-April till September, occasionally later.
The larva lives on the flowers of several bushes like Sambucus and Ribes, also on herbaceous plants like Eupatorium canabinum, Angelica or Heracleum.
