The species overwinters as pupae after a larval stage from mid-August to early October.[3][4] Adults fly in a single generation from late July to late August[3] or September.[4]Larvae are known to feed on Solidago virgaurea, the European goldenrod.[3][4] In the eastern part of Eupithecia groenblomi's range,[lower-alpha 1] the larval host plant could be another species of Solidago.[4]
Eupithecia is the largest genus of moths of the family Geometridae, and the namesake and type genus of tribe Eupitheciini. Species in the genus are, like those of other genera in the tribe, commonly known as pugs. The genus is highly speciose, with over 1400 species, and members of the genus are present in most of the world with exception of Australasia. Roughly a quarter of described Eupithecia species occur in the Neotropical realm, where they have an especially high species diversity in the montane rain forests of the Andes. The genus includes a few agricultural pest species, such as the currant pug moth, Eupithecia assimilata, which is a pest on hops, and the cloaked pug moth, Eupithecia abietaria, which is a cone pest in spruce seed orchards.
