Description

The wingspan is 13–18 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August and again from September to May of the following year after hibernation. [2]

The larvae feed on rosebay willowherb ( Chamaenerion angustifolium ). The larvae feed inside the stem of their host plant, usually in the flowering part. Feeding causes a gall to be formed. Larvae of the second generation usually live in a seedpod. Larvae of the first generation are found from May to June and larvae of the second generation are found from July to August. [2] [3]
