Larva

The wingspan is 8–9 mm. [2]

The larvae feed on Gnaphalium and Helichrysum arenarium . They mine the leaves of their host plant. In autumn, larvae create a thin corridor with a central frass line. In spring, they continue this mine with a much wider corridor. The larva then leaves the mine, and starts making fleck mines on the leaf underside. In the end, it bores the shoots of the host plant. [3] Larvae of the first generation can be found from autumn to May of the following year. Second generation larvae are found in July and live freely. They are pale yellow.
