Still a rare species in Belgium, but well distributed.
Native
The larva starts feeding on young terminal leaves.
The adults fly from early evening and later comes to light.
The adults have been seen from May towards mid-September with most observations during July.
The larva lives on Hypericum perforatum, H. hirsutum. Also on H. maculatum.
It inhabits woodland and open land as meadows and dry grassy areas.
