A very rare and local species in Belgium.
Native
Wingspan 16–20 mm.
The larva lives in a silken tube amongst needles spun to a twig, prefering lower twigs of the host plant.
The adults fly at night and later come to light.
The adults usually fly from mid-July towards late August, occasionally later.
