Cochylis molliculana has a wingspan of 11–15 mm. [4] Labial palps, head, chest and tegulae of these moths are golden-brown. Forewings show a cream white background color, with some patches of different color, ranging from reddish brown to gray and ocher. In the middle of the forewings there is a blackish transversal band. The edges are fringed and bordered by a thin dark line. Underside of the forewings is pale brown. Also the hind wings are pale brown. [3] [5]
Cochylis molliculana is a bivoltine species, having two generations per year. Adults fly in May – June and in August - September. Females lay eggs on the flowerhead of the bristly oxtongue ( Picris echioides ) in May–June and in July–September. The larvae feed on the seedheads of Picris echioides . The first generation pupates in a silken cocoon within the seedheads, while the second generation leaves the seedheads and the larvae spin a cocoon amongst debris in which they overwinter.
