Description

The wingspan is 13–16 mm. [2]

The larvae feed on birch ( Betula species), hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus ), hazel ( Corylus avellana ), beech ( Fagus sylvatica ), apple ( Malus species), sour cherry ( Prunus cerasus ), blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa }, common pear ( Pyrus communis ), sessile oak ( Quercus petraea ), common oak ( Quercus robur ), northern red ock ( Quercus rubra ), willow ( Salix species) and rowan ( Sorbus aucuparia ). Full-grown larva live in a dull black pistol case of about 9 mm and with a mouth angle of 80–90° (meaning it stands erect on the leaf). After hibernation, the larvae no longer mine, but rather cause skeleton feeding. [3] Full-grown larvae can be found in early June.

Distribution

The moth is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean Islands. [4]
