A rather common species in Belgium, especially in the northern part.
Native
Hibernates as young larva and pupates in a loose cocoon between leaves of the food plant.
They come to light, especially the males.
The adults fly in one generation a year from late May till early July. In favourable years a small partial second generation occurs during September.
