A not so common species throughout Belgium, distribution after 2004 based on determination via genitalia.
Native
The adults have been observed from late May till the end of July. The moths are active in the evening and later come to light.
The larva feeds on a wide range of plants. The young larva mines in the leaves, but after hibernation it lives between spun leaves, twisting those of tender shoots. Pupation in a folded leaf, or amongst detritus.
