Description

The wingspan is 12–15 mm. This moth has a characteristic wing pattern, with a pale brown ground colour and dark brown markings of the forewings, resembling a cross (hence the Latin name cruciana of the species). [3]

Adults are on wing from June to early August. [3]

The larvae feed on various sallows and willows, mainly Salix repens , on which the larva spins together the leaves of a terminal shoot and feeds within. [3]
