Larval case, with spiny projections

The wingspan is about 6 mm. Adults are on wing from the end of April to the beginning of June and from July to August. [2]

The larvae feed on Cornus mas and Cornus sanguinea . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a corridor of about 10 mm closely following the leaf margin and containing much frass. Later, the direction reverses and turns into a full depth blotch. Here, the frass is deposited in scattered grains. Full-grown larvae cover an oval section at the margin of the blotch with a layer of silk. They then cut this loose and drops to the ground within it. [3] Larvae can be found in July and from the end of August to early October. The species overwinters in the larval stage, within the case.
