Description

The wingspan is 10–12 mm. There is one generation per year, with adults on wing in June. [2]

The larvae feed on mountain willow ( Salix arbuscula ), tea-leaved willow ( Salix phylicifolia ), and Salix silesiaca , mining the leaves of their host plant. Young larvae make a distinctly folded lower-surface tentiform mine. After some time, this mine is vacated and the larva lives freely in a leaf margin that has been folded downwards and is secured with silk. In small leaves the two halves are simply spun together in a pod. Two of these leaf folds are made and eaten out. [3]

Distribution

The moth is found from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to the Pyrenees, Italy and Romania and from Scotland to Ukraine.
