The larvae feed on Prunus avium , Prunus cerasifera , Prunus cerasus , Prunus cocomilia , Prunus domestica , Prunus fruticosa , Prunus mahaleb , Prunus spinosa and Prunus tenella . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a narrow corridor, filled with reddish frass. Normally, the corridor is strongly contorted, unless it follows the leaf margin. The corridor widens into a small, round blotch. In the blotch, the frass is blackish and concentrated in the centre.
