The wingspan is 23–26 mm. [2] Adults are on wing in June. [3]

The larvae feed on blackthorn ( Prunus spinosa ), hawthorn ( Crataegus species) and Sorbus species. They feed from a spinning amongst the leaves, which are rolled downwards. Larvae can be found from mid-July to the beginning of October and are bright green with a white stripe. Pupation takes place in a silken cocoon amongst leaf-litter. The species overwinters in the pupal stage.
