A very rare and local species in the north of Belgium.
Native
the larva forms and forms a silk gallery. Pupation in a silken cocoon near larval habitation where it overwinters.
The adults have been observed from late June till August, especially in July. They come sparsely to light.
The larva feeds on buds, shoots, twigs, catkins and cones of coniferous trees, mainly on Pinus sylvestris.
