The larvae feed on common wild oat ( Avena fatua ), wood small-reed ( Calamagrostis epigejos ), floating sweet-grass ( Glyceria fluitans ), reed canary grass ( Phalaris arundinacea ) and common meadow-grass ( Poa pratensis ). The larvae create a mine which begins near the leaf tip and descends towards the base, occupying the entire width of the blade. [1] The pupation takes place outside of the mine. [2]
