The larvae roll or web the leaves of the food plant together, feeding on them within this shelter. They sometimes live in flowers. [8] Pupation takes place inside a rolled leaf, which is lined by a thin layer of silk. The pupation period lasts one to two weeks. Adult has pale brownish forewings with various dark markings. Hindwings are plain brown. On thorax region, there is a crest of dark scales. [9]
