A very rare but well distributed species in Belgium.
Native
Larva undescribed.
Bionomics is not sufficiently known, perhaps in the stems on the host plant, but this is still speculation.
The adults are active during the day in sunshine and at dusk and later come to light.
The adults usually fly from mid-May towards mid-August.
Host plants are still unknown. In the literature is stated to have been found in roots of Plantago maritima, but this is apparently based on a misidentified specimen. Also mentioned is Hypericum perforatum, this is more probable, because moths are captured while flying around stands of this plant, but for the moment this is still speculation!
It inhabits open landscapes, rough ground
