This species can be found on both the North and South Islands in open native forest and scrub at altitudes from sea level up to 1370 m.

The larvae create a shelter by loosely spinning together the leaves of its host plant and can be found feeding in groups. The pupa is formed inside a thin cocoon.

The adults of this species, particularly the female, are variable in colouration and in forewing pattern.
